Great video, it’s amazing to see how learning and aplying knowledge it’s such a cycle, it’s incredible to see how much it’s possible to learn in these videos, great advices to start in tech carrers!
What I understood before studying in the USA and what I see now. Unfortunately, what they tell you before training does not correspond to reality. Most people don't have it background. And especially since they don’t have any acquaintances. But before training, everyone tells them that they will easily find a job. Because there are many vacancies. As a result, after training they are faced with requirements for a junior position. Which does not require any experience at all, much less any certificates. They are expected to have level 1-2. . Why did this happen? And why new people have to lie that they have experience. It’s not clear. There is absolutely no problem to take and train any person in a month. It is important to find the right person. Not certificates and diplomas.....
The networking thing is pretty disgusting actually. So the only people who get into a company are only friends and family of current employees. Screw the rest. This is going too far, things like this make me even question capitalism sometimes.
That's not just cybersecurity mate. Any job is like that. The point here is that you don't need to have friends or family in cybersecurity. What you should do is meet people from the field and make clear you're looking for a position. Some research says that it's more likely that you invite someone that you barely know to a job position than your close friend and family.
It depends on the position. Not all cybersecurity positions are the same. For the MOST technical cybersecurity positions, would say you definitely need a Computer Science degree. The people who write the software for Microsoft Defender, Kaspersky, etc. all have degrees. Majority of people who do Malware Analysis of Binaries and Reverse Engineering have degrees as well.
Actually is more like no contacts no job. Watch the video again, he basically just said that if you know the right person you'll get in, otherwise there's no way, even if you have a degree.
Let's be real. A fresh student is basically never the best person for a position (just look at all the "entry level" positions asking for years of experience). In reality, pretty privilege and connections are what get you into your first role (with some exceptions, but by and large). And they aren't strictly looking for someone for experience, that is just so they can turn down everyone but the person they already had in mind for the position h while making it look justified to turn them away. Look at this dude's face and consider that he was privileged to already be in contact with a prof that worked at IBM. To get in without those freebies is a very different proposition and not something that someone in his position understands or can help you with. If you really want into this field you need to network and learn at the same time. Seek out any clubs that deal with security on campus, at my campus there was a club that removed viruses from other students machines for free to get more experience with what is out there in the wild. Those guys knew more than any so called professional in the field I've ever met since. They weren't just running an antivirus, they knew how to dig in deep and root out a virus from all the persistent hidey holes available to it. The other good place was campus IT, but not the regular service desk job, so I wouldn't bother if you only have a year, you need to get promoted to the team dealing with security issues for it to be worth your while. I would only spend time with campus IT at a large school with a really good team that likes to do things in house though. You won't learn jack at those places that like to outsource all their IT needs. Those places are clueless.
Professors don't just give out free jobs to their students in cybersecurity. The whole point is that he maintained that connection with his professor when most other students probably didn't, and demonstrated his value by virtue of his own work. IBM is not the type of company that just hires people because they know somebody. I just looked at his LinkedIn profile and he was clearly a very involved student with lots of talent of his own. My professor was a former CISO for 3 Fortune 500's. I took 2 classes with him and made it a point to be in class every single day even when everybody else stopped showing up. I didn't ask for a connection that entire time, I just focused on the class. Guess who he finally offered his connections to recently? That's not privilege nor a freebie, I created that opportunity by working for it when others didn't. And if I one day use those connections, I still have to prove my worth in an interview and after hire. You are just wrong in trying to disqualify his advice, the steps he explained apply to anybody and for any type of education.
That's sound advice, I agree with you that if you can find a Cybersecurity club on campus in the CS Dept, then go for it because you are right, those guys do go deep.
1:35 the class next to mine, it smells like they had chemical warfare inside there.
Lightboard is so cool, great presentation, thank you all so much for the valuable insight and for your personal expertise!
Great info, I hope one day I will get a job in security field.
did you?
Congratulations on the job Wes!

@@CubensisEnjoyer well said but it's much easier to complain on RUclips about favoritism than to buckle down and do any amount of work.

With that kind of bitterness, who would want to hire you? Look from within.
Talk little to nothing about cybersecurity … waste of time
