So what happened to my plan on pursuing Private Military Contracting?

It turns out that the job market has oversold itself. The industry's demand for PMC and Security professionals are roughly 10% that of the Software Engineering. Not only that the demand relative to Software Engineering is miniscule, the industry filters who gets thru and they prefer special ops guys and not some bunch of regular infantry, how much more for someone coming straight from Civilian world without military background.

The training providers agenda is to make revenue from PMC and security trainings, they will exaggerate the opportunities. In my case where I took my PMC training, they leading our team on for the opportunity of employment but its been many months now and not a single one of us was taken. Later they posted recruitment but I am barred due to me not coming from US, UK, nor Europe.

The PMC from Turkiye who owns a training company warned me about this last year and I told him that I accept the risk for this. Indeed he is very much correct.

So all the trainings that I had in Explosive Ordnance Recon, firearms, PMC, EANx-Deep-Rescue, EFR + TCCC, Combat Course, Vehicle CQB, Intelligence Analysis, Counter-Surveillance, International Security and Risk Management is now just a hobby 😅
