Crazy how this video reappeared! I watched half of it a year ago when I first started learning to code. Now I'm revisiting it after diving deeper into cyber security and even getting my Security+ certification. The timing is perfect because I'm trying to decide on a career path - I love coding but also enjoy cyber security. Maybe software engineering with a security focus could be a good fit?
Great video! I think a very important point you made was that Cybersecurity could work at any company. I am a structural engineer and got stuck in a career of designing buildings. There really aren't that many structural jobs in any given city so I had to move to different cities to climb the ladder. While their are 1000's of Civil Engineers in any given city. And Civil Engineers can just cross the street to get another job and a nice raise. Someone is going to give an example of where I am wrong. And they would be correct some of the time. While what I am saying is correct most of the time. And senior Civil Engineers generally make more money than structural engineers and have government jobs without any stress.... and live longer.
This is a great video I have been creating my own app and I have to tell you a little bit hard coming from someone that has a Masters of cybersecurity and can't get a Cyber security job, but have cyber security certifications and software engineering, certifications and cloud I just would like to know what steps can I take because I do have IT experience
Goodday ma I'd love to speak to you on software engineering I'm really confused on my career path I've made my own research's but I need to hear from a professional Please bless me with few minutes of your time ma I beg you in the name of god
thank you very much dear LOLA. was very confuse for the one to choose. i love both courses but your makes me right course to choose for my life. cybersecurity to the world.
Please make a video on how you become a cybersecurity engineer and how you got a job in london....is it very difficult to get a job as security engineer???
Hey Lola, this video was very helpful. I’m actually in the health field right now and looking to make a transition into tech. Initially I started a path toward web development as my close friend works in that position and I have a lot of friends who are software engineers. I was enjoying learning to code with HTML, CSS, and part of JS in my belt. But I soon realized that the journey into being a decent enough software engineer prior to applying to jobs without bootcamp experience was going to be a longer journey than I thought so I took a pause on coding for several months. A month ago I was exposed to the potential that cyber security had to offer by one of my friends. Then I did some research on my own to the point where I was willing enough to try learning about cybersecurity. I’m currently taking the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate Program on Coursera and have been getting more interested in the profession. At this second I can’t say I haven’t looked back into continue learning how to code by watching Colt Steele on Udemy go through his web developer online bootcamp but I’m willing to continue to give cybersecurity more time. This video was helpful for me because you had a similar experience of spending time in one area only to transition to a different area without looking back! Thank you for sharing!
Software engineering is all about coding, and being creative while cyber security is all about ensuring standards, and working with the government to protect data, assets, and people.

sista im going to have to disagree with you on that point (11:35) WHO do you think builds the things for people like you to protect in the first place every company on the planet is using some form or shape of programming or Software that was built by a group of SE and THEN and only then protected by Cybersecuritypeople (meaning without SE there would be nothing to protect if they didn't build or fix the code with new and old software). We both need each other to keep our jobs lol. other than that great video love the content, I Love to see black women succeeding in tech!!
Here’s what I learned from the video: 1. SWE involves a lot more coding and creativity compared to Cybersecurity 2. Cybersecurity is a somewhat recession proof career as it is needed in most industries 3. Certifications are helpful for making the switch to cybersecurity. I’m in my last semester of college and I have been on the fence between Cybersecurity and SWE. This video was pretty insightful. Hope I get the Sec+ voucher.
heyy, how has your journey been? and what do u do right now? i'm in my second year of college and pretty confused between SWE and Cyber security. I have a 3 month summer break right now, so i have time to decide in the summer break what i really want to do? i'd like some advice from u.
This video explained my path precisely(well kinda), I was interested in software development but once I enrolled myself in the Google Cybersecurity Course, I found myself wanting to know and researching about so many branches in cybersecurity
Informative stuff thanks! I’m on an interest in coding myself but instead of software development it’s more “web” development. Would you say that’s lucrative career or cybersecurity is NOW the big thing more companies need to protect their data? I do know that starting salary is higher on average for a security analyst though vs web developer.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I was just recommended the " Get Certified Get Ahead" Study guide. Watching your video just confirmed to me that it was the RIGHT Choice to pick up! I'll make sure to look into the other study resources you included. Digging the content!👍💯
Please help... I'm a BSCS sophomore and I'm more on the creative side and coding thing but I'm thinking of Cybersecurity instead of Software Engineer....Since like what you said in the video, that companies needs Cybersecurity more than Software Engineer.
