Ask HN: Starting a career in security at 40?
You'll do fine.Don't waste time with certificates. They mean fuck all in the industry. Any job that cares about them is a job you don't want.Try to get some clarity about what part of security you want to work in. All the subfields are open to you. Do you want to do operations work? Do you want to exercise your software development muscles? Do you want to work offense or defense? My advice might be different depending on the answers to those questions, but no matter what you want to do, you should be fine.
