I'm getting my degree in cybersecurity. I'm just curious how the environment is in the Army cyber. If id be better off sticking with civilian side of things or going back in as cyber. Thanks.

Cyber is strategically a national weakness of ours. If you succeed there I suspect you will be rewarded and valued.

For example, if you were say a Managing Director for Network Security for say a well known tech firm the doorway to Direct Commission to as high as LTC based on your experience is open.

You will get paid much, much more as a civilian and probably have better career opportunities in cyber as a civilian. This is why it's so hard for the military to recruit because cyber as a civilian is much more attractive than in the military.

This is more of a personal question as to what you want to do with your career and direction you want to go in.
