    Love her openness. Just rounded up my Splunk/Linux classes last month. It's just amazing that I could understand her and the topics around splunk that she mentioned. Especially when she started talking about data onboarding, syslog, API, and forwarder. I was literally smiling.

    A NOC role (with the right organization) is an underrated path for transitioning to a SOC and SRE role. Infrastructure monitoring is vital for any NOC and deep-diving into various log sources and their use cases for potential observability is a great skill to have in this market.
    Splunk really allows quality insight to complex enterprise IT infrastructure & applications, which is a field agnostic skill that can be used anywhere in tech from systems to development.
