Should I get a CS job?

I am 19 years old.

I started learning stuff about coding when I was 9, at 10 I could make simple HTML sites, and also knew a bit of CSS.

When I was 13 I had already learnt JavaScript and moved on to the server side, with PHP and later with Node

At 14 and 15 I focused on learning how to write software, and connect it to web servers and sockets. I used to code in C/C++, Node and AutoIt.

When I was 16, I started researching stuff about how memory works, and started making a CS:GO cheat, feature by feature. It remained undetected for 3 years.

Last year I started participating in CTFs, and I’m doing pretty good. I’ve also learnt a lot of stuff about security, EDRs, as well as attack & defense methods.

My teammates think highly of me, and I don’t really know how to feel about that, because I know there’s still a lot to conquer.

Currently I’m working on an FUD “🐀”, fully written in AutoIt – just for the experience.

I have an upcoming interview for a SOC analyst position, and I don’t know if I can do the job. What should I do?
