PhD in CS from a top five program, specializing in mobile security. My day job is similar.

Why is it so hard to believe that people can be different from you?



so you work in infosec? or I'm right about your day job. Education to a Phd Level implies some serious specialization. You say "mobile", but those best practices move pretty quick and yesterday's degree doesn't do much to confer today's knowledge.

I know everyone has a different comfort level, but if you have an infosec background you have to admit you're giving away alot of information and potential control. Maybe you're ok with that.


> so you work in infosec?

Yes. My daily work is on vuln detection.

It's true that the field has moved since I graduated. But I still attend conferences and engage with academics for recruiting purposes.
