I hear that GRC has some similarities. I've been a tech writer for four years in the IAM/PKI/PAM industry, working with leading companies in this niche. I write technical documentation on how to use software products that handle TLS certificates, secure identity issuance, secure networking, and machine identity management. Most of my job is communicating with PMs, engineers, security teams, and end users to gather technical information and translate it into user-friendly docs. 80% stakeholder and project management, and 20% writing, is the bulk of my life. I still love tech writing and having a role that requires reading, writing, communication, attention to detail, and making things more understandable and safe to use.

Tech writers hit their ceiling pretty quick, so I'm looking for a role I could transfer my skills over to and grow more in my career. If there are options out there, how can I get there from where I'm at? I understand the current job market is insane, but I'm hoping in a couple years of studying, I can make something new work and hopefully the market will improve at least a little bit.
