thx

😅

Dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend lately xD

@Ryland Trenton definitely, have been using instaflixxer for months myself :D

Gerald Perez shoot for baller. you may get close.

Jmatt good perspective. Just finished my A+ class. I'm new to all this.

with the price of rents etc in most cities you need baller dollars to take care of a family. besides the lower paying jobs are kicking people in the a** just as much or more than higher paying jobs.

Real talk brother .

I agree I’m about to send my woman and the newborn baby to her moms while I sleep in my works parking studying for cyber security SYO-501 I’m just trying to better my life

I.T. Career Questions sir, I have a question. I'm a freshman student in network administration. should I start studying for any certificate? do u have any advice for me? thank you!

I.T. Career Questions hahah you’re funny but I’ll take you up on the offer. I’ll do my research and get on the certificates!

You should have some certs lined up with your network admin classes, but if for some reason you do not. CCNA to CCNP to CCIE You see here: www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/certifications.html

Funny? Funny lookin' maybe! Good luck!

I.T. Career Questions, what about CCIE?

Thyag Sundaramoorthy you’re the real MVP

Thank you sheesh!!!!

Not one was a Cisco Cert lol Don't know what to think about that.

@@Morristown337 tbh unless you're at a senior network engineer level the Cisco certs will cap around 70-80k outside of ccie and we know how hard that one is to get

@@Morristown337 is cisco the best in IT ?

JnoseAll he is so irritating

JnoseAll OMG I swear I was going to say the same damn thing, I was thinking of subscribing but if every video is like this......

sigh people are so impatient...

Thats a fucking annoying intro

Thanks that’s what I scrolled down here for

Completely agree with what you're saying here.

Eric Knott Hi Mr. Knott, what certifications would you recommend for a fresh IT grad? I’ve booked my CompTIA A+ exam for this summer as I’m hoping to get at least some type of entry level certification. I’d appreciate your help tremendously, thank you!

I'm in your exact same situation; a fresh grad looking at entry-level certs. I'm assuming the CompTIA A+ and Security+ are great starts, but I'd love to hear more suggestions!

Eric I think I'm going to do the CompTIA A+ and then switch over to security certifications. A lot of these infosec jobs require at least a security+ to get into the field. So our best bet is to do any security certifications.

Hi Jabran and Eric, Its hard to say. It really depends on where you want to see yourself entering into the workforce, but also what background (including technical school training you have). For me I graduated with a B.S in Information Systems with a major in computer networking (many classes included MCSE books). So I naturally went for the Network+ first. I then entered the workforce joining a small company 60 employees and 25 servers (which exposed me to a lot). It was just me and one other guy who managed everything from servers, workstations, networking, backups, access, etc... role) They were mainly a Microsoft Shop (Windows, Active Directory, etc...) so I then went for my MCSA having some MS background from my school. I never went for the A+ because I wanted to start off in networking and sysadmin type work and thought Network+ would help me with that goal. Although I worked with hardware and learned on the job, I never knew all the fine details that you would get from A+. So as far as certifications, you will want to think about where you want to enter. I see more of an A+ cert for Technicians, and Network+ more for junior network analyst and junior system administrators. You can always go for the A+ then Network+ or Security+ but I also know how much work these can be. Pick one you think will keep you interested and one that will assist in the job role you like. Along with certifications, also think about where you enter into the workforce, what organizations have good advancement opportunities (for long term), or great technical skills (for shorter term). I started my career in a small company that hardly paid enough, but the value of the skills I picked up (Managing Active Directory, Email Server, Windows/Netware servers, SMB File Servers, Veritas backups, networking and some technician type work), made me more valuable for my next venture. In other words, I was not a specialist in one area, but a generalist in many (which can be valuable). I then left that company after a couple years and tripled my salary in my next position which needed my generalist skill set.. Today (12 years later) I am doing great, but I was able to enter my current job based of my experience I picked up at the smaller company. One of the things I see with larger organizations (where I am now), are roles are much more limited. For example, technicians only work on hardware and imaging computers, which won't really give them the skills and advancement if they want to move up faster to jobs like networking and SysAdmin type work (although not all places are like this, consider what will move you up). My only point being its hard to change jobs sometimes and make sure whatever you enter is giving you the skills or future (long term) that will make a great career for you. To me, there are things to always consider (certifications but also where you see yourself later down the road, and the planning and thinking you do to get there). Always think ahead in the decisions you make today. Sorry for the long story, but hope it helps and makes sense. Another piece of advice, is learn as much as you can and be a life learner. When I took security classes at SANS (from Dr Eric Cole who is amazing security instructor by the way... you can look him up on youtube), I remember asking him what I should focus on most or learn the most in security. His answer was learn everything, learn as much as you can about everything because they all matter (but this idea goes beyond just security). My take away was just that, be a life learner. Learn how all these technologies integrate with each other, make them secure, and at the end of the day, its about the end user (and business) and experience you help provide. This is based off my experience only. Hope this helps!

Thank you! I will always do my best to provide the best information that I can. You are appreciated here in Illinois

I can do that. Thank you!

Top cert is experience and aptitude

Security: OSCP, CISSP, GSEC Cloud: AWS , GCP, Azure certs Networking: CCNA, Wireshark Cert, CCIE

I don't know about blowing up, but thank you!!

Haha thanks!

I.T. Career Questions Sir,can u please make a quick videoed on 1)Aws prerequisites 2)how to start carrier in cyber security 3)Carriers regarding,"Ipr&Cyberlaw"

I can

Thank You so much,Sir!!!

+Andy_231821 thank you

They sure do, but once you get that it's smooth sailing with money flowing into your pockets. I think any certification is a journey you have to be willing to take. It sometimes takes years to get where you want to be.

You can take the cissp even if you don’t have the 5years and you become an associate cissp till you get the 5 years

THank you!

Thank you!

Is it peaceful now so everybody can focus on IT instead of war?

@@aleksandarrikic9208 My comment was made 2 years ago :) . It's peaceful in Baku but not in the war regions. Nobody wants a war, but you have no choice if someone illegally occupies your lands.

Yup 10/10 can confirm, jealous I didn't think to go reservist.

Melendr3z NSA is gay

You pay a fee and do continuing education yo renew your certs. The only company that makes you recertify by testing is Cisco.

Ayeote99 : please can you share me your mail id to me, ahamedkhan025@gmail.com

Tldr; AWS, CRISC, CISM

Derrick Snell that's why I look at comments. Thank you. :)

Derrick Snell Do you have to hold a degree in IT? I have a BS and MS but they are both in healthcare.

Faith W, If you have a MS, you should be able to get into IT with just certificate or be trained to be one in no time. Some companies care about degrees, some experience, and others rely on certifications, good luck

Basic is fine... You have to know submitting

Cisco certs

@Jerry Grauert can you please tell us more about your educational background? How did you learn Linux so well?

@@byteblok its actually increasing in job hiring....so many old companies are looking for IT specialist

n1c basic skills like python, and what else?

Help desk is a great starting point. Good luck!

The A+ is an excellent way to enter the IT world. Keep in mind that entry level may start you as low as $14/hour (I started at $17. Then to $15 then to $22 - contracts). If you can pay the bills with that, you’ll gain valuable experience. Net+ is great for network hardware troubleshooting and works best as a compliment to A+, in my opinion, and has a logical flow with an A+ job. Don’t know details on Sec+.

😬

Ccna and mcsa are related to each other?

@@Krunaldigital not at all

I agree. There's a difference between making a ton of money and competing for very few jobs vs making decent money and being able to get a job easily. You can become a CEO for a big company and make a ton of money. But small chance you will.

Ashley Kraus I'm five years older and have finished my first class. Still studying for my first certs. Not a waste of time at all.

Ashley Kraus Also, I've been a surgical tech. so you being in medical just makes you more appealing to a computer, network, or security need in the medical world.

DE Nichols thank you I really want to change my life. That really inspires me.

Ashley Kraus I worked hard to find a good school when a good one had already found me through my resume. Turns out, I couldn't do better. I'm going to more of a tech school in Durham, NC. They're accredited but they focus on getting you your credentials rather than a 4 year degree. It's the right path for me. Take a look around in your area. I've found the teachers at Carolina Career College to teach beyond the test and use real examples to understand how it's helpful.

DE Nichols that's what I want more of a tech school program. I will definitely look possibly online. Thanks for replying it's definitely helpful to hear from other people in similar situations.

He does, even by his voice !

Yet not all CISAs can pass the CRISC and/or CISM.

​@@richman542 Yes not all CISAs go for CISM / CRISC but most of them. Those who dont, just not bothered to. CISA has no comparison.

probably 50k

CEH no, CCIE yes. But one does not simply get CCIE, it's quite the journey :>

YOu are right It always has been, and will be for a foreseable future..

Thank you so very much!

mplsridah degrees are outdated.

You have a point

Who does?
