I have a friend who just got laid off from a web dev gig after recently graduating and getting married. He's looking for a junior front end or "full stack" web dev position, fully remote, probably working with React framework. He has background in test automation that he's trying to get out of. He has an insanely refined artistic talent and attention to detail and is a brilliant team player. About a year of experience. Anyone's companies hiring a junior dev role like this??

I started mentoring junior people within my org recently and I could do with some advice from folks who have been doing it for a while...
1. How do you answer questions about best way to get into #infosec? I got my start in IT/Infosec in 80s ( for IT/coding ) and early 2000s ( Infosec ). I findn it always hard to answer this question in a manner that will prove useful to young ones wanting to get into those fields today. In my case I point out to them that I had biggest success by pivoting within my existing org every time rather than starting a new career with new org.
2. How do you convince folks you are mentoring that there is more to Indosec/cybersec than just reverse engineering, red/blue/purple/mauve teaming or staring at logs fly by the screen for 8hrs? it seems that is the only thing everyone wants to get into and I am not certain there are enough of those jobs out there..

So with my move back to Australia I'll also be leaving Meta and taking on a new role at Atlassian working on product security. I'm super excited about it.

Whole I think what I am doing at Meta is some of the most impactful and important work of my career and I feel like I am just starting to gain traction and move the needle, they can't support me working remote in Western Australia. I worked hard with my leadership to try and find something that worked but the timing and situation wasn't quite right.

So I'll finish out February as a Security Partner working on Identity at Meta and then start new exciting things at Atlassian as a Product Security Architect.

Still staying in an IC role for now. The Security Partner role was something I found I excelled at (it's a bit like a vCISO / BISO role) and the architect role I'm moving too looks to be similar. Hoping once I get settled to find sometime to write some articles/a book and even do some speaking at events.
