Weekly thread for any and all career, learning and general guidance questions. Thinking of taking a training or going for a cert? Wondering how to level up your career? Wondering what NOT to do? Got other questions? This is the time and place to ask!
Having minimal professional IT experience, yet an IT degree, what should I focus on to get into the cybersecurity field?
Which part of it-security do you want to become a part of? It’s a huge field with loads of roles and specialities. For entry level, a soc is probably the easiest. Pentesting is the most popular, but also not a jr. Role in my eyes.
Definitely pentesting, but looking at this job market, I can’t even land a helpdesk role. At this point anything…but I’d prefer remote, as there’s nothing near me.
Got your 3 C’s right here --> Code, Cloud, Collection (and by collection I mean document what you learn in a blog or GitHub or something). For coding, I’d say go with Python and for cloud, get a free AWS account and learn the basics.
Familiar with the 2, just need to create now I guess
