Cyber SOC to Azure Cloud Automation

I’m currently working as a SOC Analyst with 4 years of experience. Over time, I’ve hit a point of burnout due to the repetitive nature of tasks and limited growth opportunities. The SOC job market also feels saturated, and salary progression during role changes seems minimal.

I’m considering a transition into Azure Cloud / DevOps / Automation to explore a more scalable and future-ready career path.

Would appreciate insights from professionals who’ve made a similar move — is this shift worth pursuing in today’s market?
