Hot Take:

Well, it looks like the cybersecurity job market is playing a game of musical chairs, and when the music stops, not everyone gets a seat. The irony? We're told there's a chair shortage (aka talent gap), but folks are tripping over 'For Hire' signs. Budget cuts are the new black, layoffs are trending, and job growth forecasts?
