      US unemployment. What constitutes employment? Full time, part time or 1 hour per week? How many hours are being worked? At any rate, it’s low because inflation is very high there in the USA, atm.

    I left my old job in sales a year ago, at the age of 31, without any IT background. I followed your roadmap for the analyst role, and after 10 months of studying, I got hired at my first interview in the field by the largest telecommunications company in my country (Italy) as a SOC analyst!!!

    In my case, my company decided to combine 3 departments into one department. Basically they laid off about 15 people across those 3 departments. I decided to volunteer to let go because I refuse to do the job of three departments for the same pay. Also there was favoritism specially the seniors so there was not point to stay.

    I see learning as follows:
    1. Not knowing what you don't know (initial)
    2. Know what you don't know
    3. Practice what you know then back to 2
    4. What you know had become second nature, back to 2 and 3. It's never ending 😄

    As someone with a high salary in the industry, the mistake I see noobs making (exactly as I did when I was a noob) is they are not specializing. Even if the job posting says "Cybersecurity Engineer/Analyst" that is not really a job. That's like saying "Scientist". A chemist's job is different from a physicist's. You need to niche down and decide the cert and exp path at the beginning of your journey. And there are several niches that are far more sought after than others.

    I"m in Nashville, TN. Went to a highly regarded Bootcamp, here in Nashville, in 2022. Graduated in Jan. of '23 and there were no jobs to be found. Plenty of jobs being posted but no effort to fill the positions, especially for Juniors and those new to the field. It's now Aug. '24 and nothing has changed in Software Dev. There's now a saturation of Senior and Mid-level devs looking for work, and no interest in training new hires. This means Juniors will be the absolute last people to be considered for any positions.

    Hello UnixGuy, I have a question, which you may or may not see. I have just finished a one year, college course the content of which aligned very heavily with the Cisco CCNA. I have also just been accepted into a 2 year BSc in Network Cybersecurity, which commences at the end of September.
    I have 2 months of free time between here and the start of my next course and I'm going to complete an industry certificate in that time. I'm considering revising for 6 weeks and then sitting the CCNA exam (I did well on my college course and received a voucher to sit that exam for free should I choose). I have seen your video with your thoughts on the relevance of the CCNA in regards to cybersecurity, my other thought was to do the Google Cybersecurity cert prior to starting the BSc in September to get some light hands on time with some SQL and Python. Ultimately I am pursuing cybersecurity as the end goal. Any thoughts on which cert to do?

    • @UnixGuy
      @UnixGuy  6 месяцев назад +2

      it looks like the course you signed up is heavily focused on networking so you might benefit from reviewing CCNA. if you decide to do the Google cyber security search that will also be useful. I don’t think you can go wrong with either.
