Thank you for another amazing video! I started the Google Cybersecurity Certificate in June 2023 then finished in August 2023. Shortly afterwards I took and passed CompTIA Security +. Then I landed a contractor job as a sys admin. During down time at work, I studied Network +, and I'm currently studying CYSA+. Also, I've been working on completing THM SOC level 1 path. After 5 months as a System Administrator, an opportunity appeard to join my company's SOC team. I'm excited to get my feet wet in cybersecurity as a SOC analyst!

Thanks as usual for your wisdom, UnixGuy. Your transparency is inspiring. I've stopped studying for the past month cause I got quite overwhelmed by the fact there are many things to do and achieve (certificates or do this or that course), that simply places you on a spot where you don't even know where to begin and at the end leading to not finishing anything at all. Organizing yourself on what you want to achieve and pursuing a goal has to be a must, get your foundational knowledge straight, get your certs, start applying, practice while doing interviews until you make, that's it, period. Thanks again.

There are certain times where I feel like I am learning absolutely nothing. Is it good to know I like your client, if one way fails me, I'm not stupid and there are other ways to expand my skills. Thank you again. My first instinct was correct. Checking off the right answer or series of answers in some boxes I'm learning a bunch of verbiage doesn't get you a job. Proper application of the skills you learn and master is what does it, especially for a beginner.

I graduated Junior college way back in 2002. I have an associates of science degree which ended up serving me no purpose due to health challenges.. now that's most of that behind me, I am simply determined to have useful knowledge,, not just some fancy piece of paper that is outdated before I even get started . At least now I know that having a fancy degree or certification doesn't mean anything unless you really can execute the skills to back it up. And generally speaking, about myself, it may take me longer than most sometimes, but the one thing I don't do is quit on education. I really do owe you a huge debt of gratitude for showing me at least two alternatives to continue to genuinely educate myself while learning skills that are immediately applicable to any position.

@user-xu5yd5ll8n it's only true if you take test to get as many credits as possible before applying to WGU. They allow you to take classes at certain sites before applying and the credits will transfer. Keep in mind WGU does things differently from other collages, I think they give you 6 months to get as many credits as possible for a fee but double check because it might have changed. Idk how credibly WGU is. Honestly, you can probably get a decent job just dont expect to get hired by the NSA lol. Also learning cyber security threw an online degree is going to be very difficult especially if you have no experience. Also WGU also has a 46% drop out rate which is one of the highest of all schools because you literally have to teach yourself everything which isn't easy.

I spent 11 years with Verizon on their first FiOS Operations team. I left that in 2017 to be a NGFW TAC Engineer with PANW. After a year I was burned out and went to State Farm doing FW Polciy audit for a lil over 2 years. I did the same for Equitable for about 6 months and then wound up on MunichRE's FW Hardening team for a coupe years. I am now back with PANW as a Customer Success Engineer and I've picked up my PCNSA (working on PCNSE currently). I still don't feel like I'm in CyberSecurity. I feel more NetSec than anything. Can you speak on the difference between the two? I think of Cyber as more SOC, Forensics and Threat than I do FW or IPS/IDS

So based on your video what I understood is that we should first get the security+ certs and then continue with the hands on labs for example Lets Defend. Please confirm if this is what every beginner should do or they can start with hands on labs certs like CDSA, CCD, etc. without having security+?

Thank you for this. I want to change careers into cybersecurity, but I've no background in it or IT. I was under the impression I needed to collect certs like they were trading cards lol. Feels good to know that there are practical courses out there for me to complete because I definitely learn better by doing and worried I wouldn't have the skills necessary to pass an interview or succeed at the job. Currently going through everything in your free cybersecurity training video and then I'll move onto THM SOC 1 and maybe Let's Defend too

Helpful video, as usual. I am an experienced software engineer with a bachelor's degree in IT and some product management experience with a total of 7 years of experience in IT. Within the past year I have taken some certification including Google Cybersecurity and IT professional certificates, as well as the ISC2 CC. I have been creating documented reports with serveral IT/System admin work I do within the Linux OS (and Windows). I have done some HTB challenges and completed Tier 0 and Tier 1 lessons. I am still *unable to land a cybersecurity job on LinkedIn* as I am planning to change career into cybersecurity. My current role is a that of a Software Techincal Writer. (3 years of experience). Any advice will be much appreciated.

hey mate, you cant get a job because all you did was basic entry level certs; time to step it up a bit, follow the certs recommended in this video
@marufrahmandigital 4 ай бұрын
@UnixGuy , thanks for the feedback. I have been watching your videos and I got the idea that hiring managers care more about the skills rather than the cerificates. I started doing courses on letsdefend. Still continuing lessons on HTB. I have done lots of hands on stuff at this point but I honestly feel like LinkedIn isn't good a place anymore for searching jobs because I designed my resume to reflect my skills I got from courses and labs and also programmed a couple of malware. Let me know what you think.

Could you do a roadmap video on best routes/skills/education to become a CIO, CISO, CTO, etc?… C-suite level jobs are obviously incredibly hard to land but I feel there is very little information out there on how to land these roles
@UnixGuy 4 ай бұрын
because those are not jobs you target but you build up the skills as you gain more experience in managerial positions and for CISO you’ll need solid GRC skills because at that level you’re managing risks for the business as opposed to doing technical work
