Dedicated to the branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. This field involves the application of several information security principles and aims to provide for attribution and event reconstruction following forth from audit processes. This subreddit is not limited to just personal computers and encompasses all media that may also fall under digital forensics (e.g., cellphones, video, etc.).
Trying to transition from LE to private sector and having a hell of a time. I’ve been blasting my resume off at nearly every posting I find (not including DC area) and am literally stuck in the mud. I have strong experience and knowledge, and I am not just a “button pusher,” but I still can’t land an interview. In 2024, I applied for two positions and got interviews at both (both would have cost a fortune to buy my pension out early, so it was more testing the waters then). Now that I’m ready to retire from LE, there’s nothing moving for me. I’ve even looked at general cyber roles (SOC, analyst, etc) and have no luck in those either. Is there no market in 2025? And no, adding “AI” to a tool doesn’t replace an examiner like some cyber roles, so what gives?
