@ alche
Looks like you are just starting. I would recommend to give it a try, but if you don't like it much move away quickly, don't stick to it for the sake of job.
I am probably in IT for approx 10 yrs, started as server admin, network , Cisco stuff then moved slowly to firewalls , ips/ids, siem, several white listing /baseling tool. But things just keep on changing and new stuffs keeps on coming . I probably have worked on several domains over the time ...here and there. Linux is something I haven't worked much but cloud/container security is hot these days.
But I often get bored these days and think I should have started career as developer . But like alche I got first internship in support position, and keep working whatever came in my way.
So security in corporate is very different then security research, malware engineering/analysts developing IOC etc in sectool companies . May be these fit you well if you are interested in both coding and infrastructure.
