Finding this whole looking for work thing to be pretty demoralising right now. 15 years of experience working in journalism and editorial, a decade with a focus on cybersecurity and it feels like that while I've carved myself a niche in this space by being good at writing about it (i guess?), the fact it is niche means there's very little opportunity out there right now.

A background in journalism and writing means I don't have a technical background, so moving into actual cybersecurity seems like a no go, while it feels like there's also very little demand for journalism/editorial in the space I focus on. (As evident two roles I had in cybersecurity editorial being eliminated in the last two years)

15 years of experience, 15 years of fighting tooth and nail to be in this space and now we're right back to the beginning.

Maybe it's because it's a Monday morning and I feel like I'm lacking purpose at the moment, but just... feels bad man.
