I just retired from a very successful cyber security career. The best thing I did was to get my CISSP. I was a Windows sys admin until 1995, trying to break into IT Security with no nibbles, once I got that cert...doors opened. From there it was still a learning career path. CISA, CISM, CEH, CRISC, CDPSE, CCSP. I got up almost every day at 0500, and studied before work. I almost always paid my own way through these. I ran 3 different DOD cyber teams, one SOC, and 2 GRC.I'd bring in people from other technical teams and teach them the cyber aspects of it. I've been retired for over a year and my phone still rings almost daily with people begging me to return to work.

4:15, yes many people applying to Soc analysts jobs but those are very beginner friendly and very popular opening wise. It’s not going to take 2 years because you chose that path. In fact, that’s one of the easiest and recommended paths as opposed to going straight to for example penetrating, threat hunting, or other paths. I would say don’t limit yourself to just Soc analysts or another path of choice. For now, just try to get into the field.

At 41:42 - that resonates with me because I got my jump into cybersecurity because I offered to teach a group of people on a forum how to shoot skeet (shotgun, clay pigeon targets) for the pleasure of it, no charge. One of them turned out to be a cybersecurity manager, and one thing led to another.

Struggling at the moment with trying to pivot to sales engineering from Dev/Ops. The advice about conveying the desire to make a difference is pure gold. I want to have a voice, which is why I'm looking at sales. I can see where I will add this to my lens that I view submissions through. I have the skills, but I may not be painting the applicable picture. I'm not a practicing theist, but I find religion fascinating. If you want to read a comprehensive bible, you should look at the Eastern Orthodox Bible. It contains the apocrypha that was determined to not be cannon by the Council of Trent. Ethiopia still uses this version. The largest difference between the Geneva & King Jame's are the annotations in the margins. The King considered these notes to be largely seditious. Thank you both for the content.

Cybersecurity seems to be a frustrating niche to break into. There is no black and white roadmap to follow. You have to get all these additional certs to get your resume thru HR. Only to be told that the certs don't matter much by the actual manager doing the hiring. I'm still gonna do it but I see many people being discouraged and pivoting to other careers.
