Pentester to SOC Analyst journey

Hello all,
A few years ago, i was preparing OSCP exam. After years I dedicated myself to becoming a SOC analyst. I was already familiar with attacking techniques but have some problems with defending and SOC environment, and started to search some resources and practicing labs about the blue team. Finally i found a job as security analyst Here is my guideline
1- Learn detection techniques (like how to detect priv esc, brute force etc.)
2- Log analysis 101
3- Malware analysis 101
4- SOC fundamentals
And which resources i used:
Ten Strategies of a World‑Class Cybersecurity - It explains how SOC works very well.
SOC Analyst training - LetsDefend is good platform for soc analyst or incident response hands-on training
Tool list - Necessary tools during investigation
Reports - Some APT attack reports, it's good to understand what will i do in future
I hope it helps those who want to change their career from Pentester to SOC analyst / blue team member.

And also I think the blue team side is more challenging because there is no lots of resources like red time side. And its motivating me.
