I have to do this now ! I was worried about it because I have a family, but this just makes so much sense ! Live a great life for free, stack 6 figures, get out of debt & invest 😫
Finding your channel has been a blessing. I’ve spent the past 8 years working as an EMT. I got into government contract work on the EMS side for disaster response which pays very well, but you work 7 days a week for months on end with no time off and you can’t bring your family. I’ve been looking into getting into tech and I started with web development, but over time I feel like I might be more aligned with cybersecurity. Thanks for the great content.
I absolutely love these videos. I left the military in January 2019 my Clarence expired, as a tech lover, I’m studying for my cyber security plus as we speak. I ran a trucking company n consulting company but slowed n had to stop temporarily. Your guides are ridiculously helpful and I’m following your 10week study guide as we speak. See you on the inside. These video keep me going when it gets tough. Keep being you!!
To everyone… if you go to a war zone, like Iraq & Afghanistan, the living conditions could be a little rough. And we worked 12 a day 7 days a week. Qatar was 10 hours a day 6 days a week, but the living conditions were awesome! 5 bedroom villa with a California king bed. Iraq and Afghanistan was bunk beds and cots.
Thanks Beez! You mentioned your contract in South Korea was 6 months with the pay being 210k / year. Did the company pay the total 210k within 6 months or more so an equivalent of what 210k would be over a year? My second question is about working "remotely" while overseas. Were you allowed to work from home (your apartment) some days? These questions are open to anyone's feedback. I am very interested in working overseas as a GC.
I was never military and from the US. Got a masters (humanities subject), teaching in other countries, recently earned a CompTIA Security+, been applying for IT jobs with govt for overseas for months on clearance jobs, contractor sites directly and still got nothing so far. Unfortunately it looks like a lot of people are lying on the internet either to sell a course or get paid on youtube.
Great Video, my hardest thing is passing the Security+. It is so much to learn and I keep doubting myself. I dont know if anyone knows of any study groups. I would love to join
I recommend if you're having trouble with Sec+, start with the fundamentals. Use Professor Messor's A+ and Network+ to build Sec+. Sec+ assumes you either have Cybersecurity experience already or have done A+ and Network+. You don't have to take the exam for A+ and Network+ but if you watch those videos on Professor Messor's RUclips channel and learn them, Sec+ will come easier to you. Best of luck!
I did Intellectual Points Bootcamp, through a program called Vet Tec, you don’t hav3 to be a veteran, but I passed my Security+ certification in 4 weeks on my first try.
Im ready to go back overseas now. If the military wouldn't have sent me back stateside, I would've done 20. Was supposed to go to Doha 2 years ago for Security but now I'm in Tech.
Do you have to be good at mathematics & tech savvy to do this job ???? I’m brand new to this and don’t know anything about tech but I’m willing to learn.
I signed a contract for 12 months. I didn't have to sign an additional contract once I completed the 12 months. You can negotiate your salary during your yearly performance review. Hope I answered your question.
Start applying directly on the government contractor websites. Vectrus, Jacobs, Leidos, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman , Lockheed, Mantech, SAIC, CACI, etc. Also go on clearancejobs
Good question where ever there is a military base just assume there is a wife that does hair lol I never had an issue in any country. Join the facebook group and ask around.
Is the Sec+ area of tech much different for landing contracts than software development? the market hasn't been great in sdev in general (even GovTech). And would you still recommend to single women/any safety concerns?
Great video. Props to whomever can gain knowledge. I only managed to complete 2 years enlisted and my first federal contract in the states got terminated due to my incompetence. Government work isn't for me.
do you know where i can go to find these jobs? i feel like clearance jobs doesn't have alot of them listed. would love to pay for a consultation with you if you do this. im very qualified for the work just don't have the connections

I love your content but it is rough trying to get overseas. I’ve been trying to apply to jobs in Japan as I’ve lived there for 6 years and I want to move back. I’m a 20 year vet, I have my SEC+, and two years of helpdesk but I keep getting rejected. My resume has been looked at and doctored up by a person whose side job was to make résumé’s great as their full-time job was helping people get hired in IT roles. I’m also college educated, any tips?
Japan is a hard country to land a contract in, there aren't that many roles. I would say to try to redo your resume using chatgpt and tailor it to the job descriptions you are applying to. Also I'd expand your search outside of japan. I applied to every technical role I saw overseas and it was between Japan or Isreal for me.
Love your content and all the info you share, but isn’t it misleading to leave out the part about obtaining clearance. It seems like all the success stories are all incredible ex-military individuals. I have Sec+ but no experience . Will gaining 6 months of work really land me a gov contract job overseas?
You need to figure out how to get a clearance. She literally said companies have to sponsor you. I’m in tech and I’m telling you. Figure it out🤷🏾♀️ No hand holding on this part. You gotta put your head down and find a company to sponsor it. You will have to put in work! But it’s worth it. The security plus and clearance are good moneymakers.
I don't even have a military background myself. I'm guessing you all aren't watching my interviews? David had 0 military background and 0 tech experience made it overseas within 24 months making 269k/yr.
Is there a school or course someone recommends i take to help me get into Cybersecurity? I know the most important thing is passing the Sec+ exam, but how do i get prepared with no prior knowledge? My objective was to take a certificate course at a college, 6 months to 1 year, then find online practice exams and training to prepare for the test.. but idk if thats the best way to go about it? Im quick to learn i just need to get going ASAP, tired of wasting time analysis paralysis lol
Get a Udemy course , take the test, and stop wasting time!!! lol you can get that in some months! I’m In tech too. Learn service now! The longer you wait the longer you miss out on this money!!!
@thebarbieinvestor5428 I bought Dions course and I'm on lesson 18 of like 264 lol! But I'm moving now! What do you mean by learn service? Thank you for helping!
A plus is basic IT knowledge, security plus is all security centered. But security plus is what the government wants, A plus is just knowledge you should study but the cert won’t help much. Check out the CompTIA subreddit. It has a lot of good info
You do know that every single contract is different right? Definitely is an uplift on ALL of Raytheon overseas contracts. Lol I've posted all of my MOU's before and even had to share them with Business Insider.
Hey Symone! Im enjoying your content, i appreciate you making these videos. As a korean who migrated to the us at an early age, im very interested in working in korea like you did.

What about engineering opportunities?
Thanks for sharing Beez!. What are mostly the contract terms ?
I signed a contract for 12 months. I didn't have to sign an additional contract once I completed the 12 months. You can negotiate your salary during your yearly performance review. Hope I answered your question.
Typically 12 months to start with an option to extend.
You forget to mention the most important thing witch is connection , connection plays a significant role in oversees contracting jobs
I had 0 connections
I have about 6+ years in Sys Admin, active TS/SCI, active Sec+ and Cysa. Currently a federal contractor, how do I land a job overseas ?
You should be Gucci my guy!
Apply for them via USA jobs
U are considered the Golden Child with those qualifications. Good luck‼️
Start applying directly on the government contractor websites. Vectrus, Jacobs, Leidos, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman , Lockheed, Mantech, SAIC, CACI, etc. Also go on clearancejobs
Weird question but how were you able maintain loccs overseas? Was it easy to find people to do retwists?

Is it possible to get overseas government contract from Africa
Is there a list of websites for this? I’ve checked USA jobs and a couple more websites I don’t see any jobs at all
All government contractor websites, clearancejobs.com, and USAjobs.gov
Thanks for dropping this gem.
Can I do that even though I'm not a US citizen?

@symonebeez Hey Beez. Where can we apply for these roles? I already meet all of these requirements.
Do you need a security clearance
What type of help desk roles or industries can one aim for to gain experience for future govtech roles?
Where do I go to apply for a role? Is there a website
Link is broken for course 😢
Is this only gear towards U.S Nationals or Internationals as well?
How about in Africa, can you find government contracts.
There are roles in Africa.
Would you recommend this for someone with (young) children?
I would if you bring them with you.
