From what I've been seeing on social media, it seems like the field is oversaturated and there are huge layoffs and outsourcing. Is this still an optimal field to try to pivot too as a 31 year old with no experience? If not, what sector of Tech is untapped and needs employees, that also offers that big salary and remote capabilities.

Everyone negging... it is what it is :yeshrug:. I posted this in Higher Learning with a regular title and got no response. I appreciate the people who are honestly responding sincerely.

Not completely over saturated but not as easy to break into as it used to be as companies are not spending as much lately, but it also depends on your credentials, certifications and experience. I would not say it is over saturated but you have to play the game the smart way.

Get your passport and start applying for jobs. When reach out for an interview tell em you DON'T NEED a job in cybersecurity. You need TANGIBLES. Zero-Trust anal. Token based giggling.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
The entire tech industry is oversaturated. You will be competing with

1. recent college graduates
2. current college graduates
3. experienced professionals currently looking to switch jobs
4. experienced professionals who are out of work
5. experienced foreign professionals
6. experienced professionals who are self-taught
7. experienced professionals who went to boot camps
8. People in the same shoes as OP right now

SO on top of having enough experience, you have to master marketing and sales. Marketing to promote yourself, and sales to sell yourself.
You also have to do a lot of networking
