Anecdote here, I have a bunch of certs including the security+ and CISSP. I went from making 15/hr part time help desk to making 115k+ in four years. They help.

@@jcbsalexyahoo for help desk you either need a 4-year degree in an IT field or you should get your comptia A+. That's all you need, and study some help desk interview questions on youtube.

Great video Grant, certs can be good, if you're getting them for the right reasons. I agree that badge collecting should be avoided if possible and have been trying to be more selective with my certs over the past few years.

I keep getting told CCNA and security + isn’t enough for entry level security by senior network security engineers without years of network expertise

@marceloarnez1491 10 месяцев назад

It's like me giving you Gordon Ramsay's cookbook. No company is going to allow you to come in an defend a large network just because you have a piece of paper. You need years of experience in threat analysis and IT as a whole. Cybersecurity is not a junior role, it's a mid-caree move after you understand networks and business.

What is your view on the PNPT Certification as the exam is essentially performing a pentest and writing the report and presenting it?

@Triple_A-679 11 месяцев назад

Much better than the CEH, EJPT and OSCP, it's tailored towards real world practical pentesting, it's only downside that it's young, HR still regard OSCP as the gold standard as they have been around for ages

Comptia certs are worthless. I am a project manager and have other department managers facing the issue of employees cert chasing and looking at exam dumps. These people know NOTHING and demand more money for looking at an exam dump.

what certs are going to land a job?

@MaikeruT 9 месяцев назад

I think it’s unfortunate that people are literally cheating on their certifications. In your opinion what do you recommend is a good way to boost your resume asides from certifications?

@Mr_Unluck1479 11 месяцев назад

Which college/university would you advice for cyber security?

@slumb3rx 11 месяцев назад

some of the issue is the price, even for full time worker, some time dont have the 500+$ just for test... so even if you have the knowledge, u still dont get certified...

@collinsinfosec 11 месяцев назад

Certifications can be quite expensive, especially if you do not have a company covering partial or full costs of training and vouchers.

@slumb3rx 11 месяцев назад

@@collinsinfosec any idea or comments how to go around the cert or how to prove that you have the knowledge? Maybe video about free cert or similar to certs? Any way thanks for all the content im follow and learn from your long time 🙏

I'm 17 years old and passionate about computers. I need to decide which path to pursue in computer science. Here are my options: 1. Software engineer 2. UI/UX designer 3. Game developer (independent projects on Play Store) 4. Cybersecurity officer or "White hat hacker" My main concern is finding a job where my time and effort are valued, and I am fairly compensated. I want to have a work-life balance and time for my family, friends, and future relationships. Will I still have to work long hours even after getting a job, or does it get easier? I come from a struggling country where the education system is outdated, and I'm considering focusing on self-learning instead. However, I'm unsure if a career in cybersecurity is the right fit for me due to the potential stress and challenges involved. Can you provide advice tailored to my situation? Also, when can I expect to start earning in my chosen field?

@bradyfeldhaus6314 11 месяцев назад

If your worried about the stresses and challenges, I wouldn’t even try to get a job in the technology industry. IT is nothing but challenges and problems, they hire you to solve them. If you really wanted a job in this industry you would be determined to solve problems.

@marceloarnez1491 10 месяцев назад

1. Software engineer: good money, good work life balance, the hardest to learn and get a job 2. UI/UX designer: okay money, good work life balance, the hardest to keep a job (lots of contracts and freelance, and AI making design cheaper) 3. Game developer: absolutely useless unless you have a wife who can support you for the 100x you will fail at games, unless you mean software developer for games, in that case it's like #1 except less pay. 4. Cybersecurity officer or "White hat hacker": good money, good work life balance, hard to learn and get a job

They are useful for getting a job. For knowledge they are useless. Everyone is getting certifications and they are making them easier and easier to get one so someone with a CISSP can know less than someone with a security+ IMO.
