Man, I must be doing all the wrong things and reaching out to the wrong people then. Both people in the industry I reached out to from a middle-man blew me off, I got one interview with no callbacks in over 200 applications, and HTB has blacklisted my IP apparently... I literally went there to create an account to start using the CTFs and was banned? All I've run into is gate-keeping so far, so I'd love to see these kind and welcoming individuals you speak of. Love your down-to-earth content and approach, though. Keep them coming.
Yes you are, I mean how many pple do you knw landed a role via a job application? They're likely to be very few. In my experience this doesn't work in tech. All the jobs I ever had in tech all came from informal conversations & in person meetings or contracting initially. The deciding factor being something interesting (tech related) that I had actually done or a problem I had solved.
Don’t just contact people about roles. I’ve contacted people just asking questions about something they know and I don’t. Then they might contact me a year later saying they have a position. It’s a long game and it won’t be easy.
@@KBreezy_ Hiring managers look at a whole lot more than what you know, are you a team player? a good fit into existing team? good character? if you're a dick head or not? and whole lot more. They'll do some digging into what kind of a person you are outside of expertise. This is all very normal in industry because no one wants to hire a douche bag if they can help it.
Hi Grant. Thanks for this informative video! 👍. I agree with a lot of what you said but rather than just looking at the objectives for A+, Network+ & Security+, I would say it’s better off to just get certified in all 3 of them.
I'm currently a Computer Science student at a Community College, and when I transfer, I will continue CS with a concentration in Cybersecurity. Will this degree be worth anything? Will it help me get more senior positions in companies? And what can I do to get the most out of my time in college to give myself the best chance in the Cybersecurity industry? Thanks
First of all Yes the degree will be worth your time as it will help recruitment team see that you were doing something that could be useful for them. Regarding getting senior positions well that depends on how hard you have worked on yourself and your knowledge. While you are pursuing your degree try to give more time to learning and building more projects and specifically learning new skills that will help you a lot in future to land your job
The hardest part about this is companies trying to give you a chance. I’ve been trying for entry positions and internship and hard to get feedback and on top of that someplaces asked for degrees
Can you make a video how to pivot or grow out of the helpdesk? Ive been on a help desk for a year now, I developed networking skills.

Hey Grant, great video. What certifications do you recommend for someone who is in helpdesk that wants to move to a junior SOC analyst or junior cybersecurity engineer? Do you recommend getting a specific/general cloud cert? Or something more intermediate like CySa+ & Pentest+?
Hi @itlackie, For a junior security engineer - I recommend getting the Security+ to get a fundamental understanding of IT and security basics. Then a few cloud certifications of your choosing for a provider. I chose AWS for time, I will eventually study for the entry-level Azure certifications. I recommend the AWS Architect Associate if you want to study AWS. For a junior SOC Analyst position - I have heard great things from Blue Team Security's BTL1/2 certifications and Cyber Defenders CCD certifications. I have not studied either one of these myself, so I can only offer a limited perspective. Happy to helps and happy 2024!
@@collinsinfosec Thank you for the information, I really appreciate it. I already have A+, Network+, Security+ (and a couple of others) bc of my college. If I grab an AWS Architect Associate or an AZ-900, could that fast-track my transition?

@@Sci-Fi_Fan296 I love the idea but am unsure which projects specifically would be of use. What projects would you recommend for a portfolio?

Thank you Grant Collins for your great job here . Please can you be my mentor to this journey of cybersecurity? Thank you for your understanding, waiting to get your reply.
I think you are more specialized in "technical\programming" part Cybersecurity. Rather then general Cybersecurity itself. I know alot of ISO \ CISO's that dont know anything technical.
@@yslbaby1942 I have been in IT for 9 years now. And im also looking a way out of the technical side. I can only think of : ISO\CISO...Cyber risk consultant etc.
Peace be upon on you bro .I have a intention to lear cyber security. Have a question to you,,,, can I make 100 dollar per month without any certifications after 1 year of ny learning??
I'm massively overwhelmed, amount of concepts, protocols and acronyms is overbearing. Trying both THM and HTB but im really unsure how much is sticking. If you asked me now i probably wouldn't answer much. Then comptia test suggest 2 years experience and I see ppl doing them in like 6 months no prior experience. One thing that frustrates me about HTB which i find more in depth than THM is lack of examples. It's all good explaining lists of network protocols which mean nothing to a newbie without visually reinforcing the knowledge or better yet letting you have a go. I'm no good with focusing and reading for a long time, so learning is a steep hill. Just giving my 5cents since I have nowhere else to let go lmao 😂
Start and go at your pace. A lot of the six monther's or ppl that learn in six months rush to catch up with the next development in cyber missing out a lot of fundamentals.
I am not well versed enough in the Cyber Risk Management domain, but I think it has a future if you are looking to pursue a career in risk management. Ultimately, everything in cybersecurity (from a pure business perspective) comes to risk. Learning to evaluate, assess, and quantify risk is imperative in a business. If you can do provide an accurate assessment for a company, it's a very valuable skill. It's what will give you the necessary resources (budget, tools, and personnel) to build and grow your security program.
My first language is Python. I have ventured only into Bash and Powershell scripting. One of my learning goals of 2024 is to take a deep dive into another language and see how it compares to Python. I will be learning Go.
Cybersecurity is actually so boring in reality. My role as cybersecurity engineer is not what I expected the day to day to be like. Slightly disappointed but still wanna keep an open mind to see what comes.
Not to be immediately dismissive, but he most likely doesn't. Those salaries tend to be saved for those with 10+ years in the industry. Could you make that earlier in your career? Sure, but at that point it's mostly going to be who you know, rather than what you know.
I am not close to the 200K mark. As @halowaffles hinted at, you need to be either highly skilled, very experienced or most likely both to make $200,000 in this industry. It can absolutely be done with time and dedication.
