This applies to alllll IT. There are a million youtube videos that have convinced folks if they get a cert, degree etc they can expect to make a certain range. But you aren't going to get the job competing against folks with experience with the systems, environments, triaging threats, vulnerability management etc, as well as if they have certs/degrees. Home labs will only get you so far. Get an actual entry level position while going for certs/degree. Being able to talk about the subject matter will get you in the door. Build your skillset and search for opportunities in the environment you work in to gain the experience for the next job.
I was in law enforcement for over 30 years. I am now working in a Helpdesk job and the experience is amazing. Now that I have experience, it is easier to get interviews for IT jobs now.
There is a crisis right now. No experience or certification is going to help right now. All that you can do is learn and prepare in case the situation gets better at any point.
This right here. Ive been in a support role while getting my degree and certs. My company is sending me to school for a network position. I started at the help desk a year and a half ago and have moved up fast. If things workout ill be in security after my degree.
If you get good enough to be a black hat you can 100% land a job. Your problem at that point is marketing yourself. Job or not the skill is something that is valuable and will get you paid eventually keep that in mind
A lot of cybersecurity jobs also have security clearances. Before I joined with my security clearance, it would be nice if people would inform others getting into it it's more than just the degree or certifications. Especially if a person wants to open the doors to gain experiences, there's a lot of jobs that require the security clearances. So it would look into credit score, citizenship etc.
Plenty of cybersecurity jobs don't require clearances, but if you need one, you can't just go out and buy one yourself. The point is that this does not impact choosing the right things to do to make yourself a competitive candidate. If you are a competitive candidate, you can find companies to sponsor you, assuming you meet the qualifications for a clearance, but too often, I see people using the fact that they don't have a clearance as a reason why they didn't get a job...it is rarely the reason if you got an interview. The only way to basically guarantee a clearance is to join the Military.
i have a masters in cybercrime, security and terrorism. Im currently working towards getting the Sec+ but ive only just really started learning cyber security! Im hoping the job market gives me a chance XD
There is no point in making such videos and creating a sense of panic in folks who are already mid way in their journey get into cybersec . Yes automation is there so learn automation and be a part of it . There is not everything which AI and robots will do.
AI is shit on higher levels in IT. It can pass the bar for example (every person on earth can with a laptop), but can't pass harder leetcode questions, because you can't train an AI to properly secure systems
This video was inspiring to me, not panicking. Work hard learn lots and put yourself out there is what ive learnt. Upskill and learn and you'll get what you're looking for. If your mid way, you're ahead of me lol good luck!
I think it's very important to understand that cyber security jobs are not going away and there's nothing that can get rid of them, especially now. New technologies and forms of automation come faster than ever before and there is more and more investment in cyber security programs because of desperate need for at least risk assessment.
Just passed my Google cybersecurity certificate don’t have a degree unfortunately and worked hard on resume and portfolio and can’t believe how many jobs want degrees and 25 years of experience and it just sucks to work hard towards something and for them to demand a college degree from people who don’t want college
I'm in the opposite boat. Have a bachelor's but don't have a cert yet. Getting nothing. I wish certs were a bit cheaper. It took long enough to deal with the price of college, but lacking a higher job to pay stuff off makes it harder to keep going for the higher job's requirements. It's a hard hill to climb when money is the gatekeeper to earning more money.
This is the thing the cybersecurity itself won’t get you a job is just a foundation of cybersecurity you need more like the comptia security plus and you can also add the blue team in there if you want to go the soc road good that you are working on your resume and portfolio and also apply everywhere is not because they say the want 25 years of experience that you won’t apply or need college degree I recently drop out just to go that road an am one course away on passing my google cybersecurity too and that’s what I will do have date and don’t give up
Because: You don’t have this degree You don’t have this experience You don’t have this certification You are not putting this on your Resume You’re not smiling on interviews You’re not doing this trick… Cmon, man!! Influencers are like just as bad as the employers themselves in today’s age.
I don't think he means it doesn't help. It's definitely a good thing to have a degree and certs, especially if you have a specific field you want to get into. The biggest thing is that you have to actually prove you know what you're doing at the minimum level of the potential position. It is definitely possible to not have those qualifications, however, it's definitely harder to get the foot in the door without them.
@user-gs6yg4ye7i That is part of the problem. I'd say it's actually a recruiting issue as well. I run into many times where recruiters have put forward people that don't match even the bare minimum for a position. Also research and in my experience, there is actually a major problem with dealing with very under skilled folks in the field.
Videos like this are eye opening, perspectives, with information & and opinions, that are gold. If someone is not interested and wants to stick head in a sand box - You can find a box and sand just about anywhere - go for it
The issue was ppl persuing "cyber" in general. Most influencers got in when the bar was low. Companies no longer believe in training and want to hire a finished product. The few that make it in know somebody or got lucky in the top 1%. Work towards IT dive deep on specific technologies THEN pivot to cyber. I dont think influencers had bad intentions but 99% of it is misleading
There are absolutely differences in the career field today compared to when I personally entered the cybersecurity job market (over a decade ago), but they aren't exactly as you've described them. I help people all the time at all levels of experience (newbie to seasoned pro) advance/accelerate their careers, so it's entirely possible if you do the right things, which often is the issue with why people are having challenges breaking into the career field. I can't speak for what other "influencers" say nor can I stop much of the misleading information that is being published to the world, but I'll always give information that works based on data.
The people in the field don't seem to be doing very good right now. I have got at least 15 different security breach mails in the last month. Seems like its better to be on the black side than the white side right now lol.
For sure the black side is treated way better in pretty much every way. It won't be until companies totally go under from an attack that it will really get attention. I think things will eventually tip the scales though as cyber attacks are only rising rapidly in frequency and severity.
I’m hedging my bets! I graduate in fall with Bachelor’s. I’m also studying for Network+ and sec+ with school discounts it should cut cost. I’ll throw some home labs in there with documentation. I figure this will make my CV looked well round and help me get my foot in the door!
It depends on how bad you want to get into the field. there will always be a need for cybersecurity Professionals. But as the job market grows and there's more positions, the pool of applicants is going to grow increasingly with it as well.
I definitely recommend going back and watching that section to fully capture what I said. ALL career fields change over time, and just because a job exists today doesn't mean that job will exist in the future, say 5, 10, or 20 years from now. New trends can cause jobs to be eliminated or changed, and you need to develop new skills to stay relevant. Also, the primary purpose of using technology is literally to make things more efficient and automated...not continue on with manual processes whenever possible.
Well, also, most of the people applying literally have no experience in the field and just went to college. Everyone thinks they will just get a security job right out of school. You need experience doing the support desk, networking, and back end jobs.
Assuming am done with this courses and all and I want to apply for a job outside Nigeria like the US or UK for instance can I work from here in Nigeria...is it possible
If the jobs are getting chopped, why should we work our butts off to get into the cyber sec industry, if there will be no jobs? Can you RUclipsrs that have all the answers plz explain it to me?!?! Why should I waste my time and buy your course or list to your podcast if its not going to help me?
27:08 - I’m moving from software development to security. I’ve been doing software development for more than 10 years and in my opinion there is more risk of AI taking software jobs than cybersecurity jobs.
G golly if some people would spend as much time networking and watching “brain rot” industry demands. Apply this same energy to build a resume specific to the path you want to enter the field at. Be creative as in create your own path make it look like a well written story. Also the confusion comes from our own understanding as rookies. We’re calling the field in a whole cybersecurity not knowing the numerous positions that fall under tech! I was at fault for this also causing me to search for “cybersecurity” brain rot then finding out Cybersecurity isn’t so entry level as i thought. Certs and bootcamps are fairly new also. People these managers and companies are banking on education. The virtual schools are must now because those same people have friends and investments in these programs. I think it weeds out the one who dnt have a bit of excitement from chaos . You really wouldn’t like tech if this discussion discourse you. Tech is an organize shit show and you have to get comfortable uncomfortable unstable problem, Hunter. Go Hunting gents .
Great video! If I’m going to school for Cybersecurity security do you recommend for me to still get certificates to improve my chances in getting into a GRC position?
Companies added cyber security to network engineer positions. You would think given the number of hacks we read about that there would be tons of CS jobs. Not the case at all.
Got a cyber degree All the comptia certs you could want the trifecta plus cysa and PenTest even SSCP and ITIL Working a service desk analyst job for the gov taking 40+ calls almost none being just password resets Even did Josh madakors course and have that project up on my resume Still not one call back on a cyber job
Apply for the federal government 2210 Roles. I have certs and am now doing my Masters in Cybersecurity at WGU. My first role was GRC, and now I've been offered a cybersecurity engineer and cloud security role. I kept training and doing projects. You may have to be open to moving for your first role. I already had a business when I decided to take time and get into cybersecurity. Sell yourself and get out and network. Plenty of jobs out there.
This is the issue. It became this open door opportunity but then tranformed into somethint harder to start than becoming a pharmacist or something. The industry lost the plot. That first top tier role will come people were for sure mislead just try to.stay positive and enjoy it when it comes
