1 year anniversary at SpecterOps, so many personal and professional achievements in a short space of time. My advice for anyone getting into this field, try and make sure that you work companies and colleagues that push you beyond your comfort level. \o/

Reviewing the Microsoft AI Critical Thinking paper to see how different industries are using genAI for its strengths, and the foreshadowing of how jobs are likely to change in the short-term. Very small sample set, but at least it gives me data outside of speaking to other basement dwellers 😉
