    I needed to watch this video. I am halfway on my cloud computing but I was going to give up but your video is motivating me. What company were you working at that raised your pay so I can apply because this help desk position with Linux lpi certification is not doing it for me.

      It was a small subcontracting company. But any job will give you a raise if you have the ambition.

    I have my IT diploma but no luck so far in landing even an entry level job. I am 29 so I am not sure if I should go for this WGU IT degree since its online, it will save me time, but I don’t know if it will actually help me find a job?

      @cyberadvent  11 месяцев назад +1

      If you already have a degree there’s no point in getting another one without experience first. Try applying to helpdesk and desktop support roles.

    When you say they give you these resources. Do you mean it’s paid for? Are books paid for? What does the tuition actually pay for?

    is cyber security a career which can be interesting and entertaining? Do you collaborate with others and how long is the average work week?

    • @cyberadvent
      @cyberadvent  Год назад +5

      There are multiple disciples within cybersecurity and you will frequently work with different teams depending on the situation. As a beginner you will most likely start with triaging alerts found on your SIEM but might go work with Malware Analysts after finding a new malware or you might speak with a Detection Engineer about why a rule has such a high false positive rate. It depends on the company and their work culture.

    • @cyberadvent
      @cyberadvent  Год назад +1

      WGU requires applicants to either have college experience already or a certification. If you are looking for an inexpensive degree is the way. But make sure to get an internship while attending WGU
