Which do you prefer to perform your daily task in cyber security, MacBook or regular windows laptop? I have a lot of colleagues in cybersecurity that said they prefer a MacBook over a Lenovo for example!! I wanted to get your opinion on either one!
Hey 👋🏽 I have both and for me there is honestly no difference, these days I use Windows for work and Mac for everything else. It depends on what tech you are most comfortable with. In an azure environment windows works better for me.
This is great to know for us who are trying to pivot into the industry. I’m a truck driver so it’s gonna be a whole new world lol i would like to know what’s the percentage or how many times have u been bothered as far as an on call incident outside of your normal work hours or just enjoying your time with yourself and or your kid?
Hey! What a great transition to make. From an on call perspective, this really depends on the role, if you are working in the SOC or incident response type roles, you might be on call. In the role that I am now, it is very rare to be called to work after hours.
@@cyber.queen_ thank you so much and yes I’m so focused on this career switch. I just turned 35 a few weeks ago and have been driving for 13 years and I don’t want to do this for the rest of my life. I’m looking forwards to changing my family’s life once i get into this role. I’ve been interested in so many roles but cloud security seems to be a great future proof career within cybersecurity. Since it’s more focused on cloud i feel like it gives me better direction than just cybersecurity itself a whole. Thanks for the insight so based off what u said i need to stay in this direction because rare instances of an on call situation sounds great to me lol
Really good video, offers great insight. I'm 18 at the moment just about to finish my second year of a bachelor in cybersecurity (3 year course), would you say doing masters straight away after is a good idea? Is a masters degree that highly valued or is experience more valuable? From Australia by the way. Thanks 😁
@@liquiddollarz1953 Yeahh I have a done alot with kali (mostly for learning, testiny different tools/ hack the box). Done alot of server setting up and securing, and worked with various networking protocals. I think at least when learning its better to understand how tools (like tools on kali) work before using them, meaning its good to have an understanding in various languages (C, bash, python etc.). In terms of virtual labs, it depends what you are trying to learn. For pentesting something like hack the box and following youtube walkthroughs is good place to start, still will need fundamental linux knowledge though. Hope this helps :)
Hey 👋🏽 thanks for your kind feedback 😊 Experience is highly valued, but I would never advise against education. I would say if you do your Masters, make sure that you do hands on practice in parallel. You really need hands on skills to get into the industry, and just by practicing on platforms like TryHackMe you can thrive.
People are not prepared for on call responsibility and sev 1 incidents
True. But this is stressful even for those who are prepared 🙂
Security conferences are something to keep it fun but having many I like on Saturday doesn’t help my burn out
Very good point!

Do you use Kali Linux, and which virtual lab is best to practice?
@@liquiddollarz1953 All are good it depends on you
However virtual box is good❤❤
