B.Sc. Computer Science Student Seeking Career Advice: Red Teaming or AI Security Engineering?
Hello everyone,
I am currently pursuing a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Computer Science and have recently decided on my career direction. I am interested in both Red Teaming and AI Security Engineering, but I am finding it difficult to choose between them.
My long-term goal is to build a strong and future-proof career in cybersecurity. I would like to know:
-
How does the career scope of a Red Teamer compare to that of an AI Security Engineer?
-
Which field is expected to have better opportunities and demand over the next 5–10 years?
-
Are Red Teaming roles likely to remain highly relevant as AI becomes more integrated into security operations?
-
If you were starting today, which path would you choose and why?
I would greatly appreciate insights from professionals who have experience in either of these fields.
Thank you.
