Certs don't guarantee jobs, skills & experience do. However, HR and employers loves certs and certs give you a defined path to follow in order to learn core skills and concepts.
Love how you are not afraid to speak your mind even if others may disagree. CompTIA is a noob cert but it helped me gain basic concepts that would be embarrassing or cause me trouble if I skipped it. I always tell people you are not born knowing the basics so its best to learn to crawl before you can run. Totally agree.
This guy knows his stuff I love how you emphasized networking! My buddy who’s in the industry told me to go straight to security plus and I said well don’t I need to understand what I’m protecting? Studying for my Network+ before anything
Thanks for the video. If I've just passed the Security+, wouldn't it be easier for me to pass the CYSA+ NEXT, and then take that knowledge and apply what I can toward the BTL1 (along with its great training) and pass that harder test a bit easier? Why would I want to take the BTL1 *before* the CYSA+ in my case?
Nah it’s be better the other way around, doing the BTL1 before the CYSA would be a lot more beneficial. Although I did it the other way around I wish I’d BTL1 before CYSA. I know I’d have fared way better.
Oh yeah absolutely! You have some experience behind you but just make sure to take a basic networking course or learn some basic networking principles too.
I wholeheartedly agree with you about your comments about A+, you don't necessarily have to have the cert, especially if you have a higher-level cert on your resume, but at least go out and get the knowledge.
I Recently Obtained the Google Cybersecurtiy Cerificate and the CompTIA Sec+, Do you recommned that I go back and also get the A+ & Network+? I was planning on taking BTL1 Next. I am wanting to break into a SOC Analyst role then futher down the line specalize in Forensics DF/IR
@Suraj Bisht 1 year of hard work dedication: downloading free tools with free license (Splunk, Sumo Logic,Wireshark, Burp Suite), yt cyber security courses addiction , some free certificates (palo alto, udemy, etc) for HR filters...
@@johnhack67hi, I see you typed out something above, but what was the route you took? I work for UPS and they are paying basically me to go back to college(wanted my associates in info tech), but I really would rather do certs. Thanks!
I 've completed Mike Meyers' A+ course, which I found incredibly helpful-even for those who already have some knowledge of computers, mobile devices, and systems, but bother to get the certification. I also earned the Google Cybersecurity Certificate and am now interested in DFIR. I'm considering this roadmap: Sec+ -> BTL1 -> CCD & PJPT (though I'm unsure which to tackle first). Any insights you could share would be greatly appreciated!
What method do you use for note taking? When studying for a cert like A+, did you read and take notes at the same time or did you have a different method of studying?
Do you have any recomendations for Cloud Security? I am very confused with my career path. I have sec+ and a bit of python knowledge. I was thinking if you knew any career paths for IAM specialists?
@@DayCyberwox Thank you so much. I just feel like I couldn't find a well defined path for it. Feel like most Cloud security people first need to be system admin before going into cloud security? I don't want to deal with writing code and t automation if cloud security is my end goal.
Same. I want to work with Enterprise hybrid cloud solutions as a cybersecurity consultant. The road appears to be pretty confusing. Which is why I'm here focusing on landing step 1 as SOC analyst. Thanks for the videos and insightful responses!
Hi, I'm getting into raking a CompTia Security + course and I just don't get it. When will I? Will it be hard to find a job in this? How long did it take you to get it?
I suggest watching some of my videos about my cybersecurity journey but I can’t really answer your question correctly since I don’t know what skills or background you’re coming from. Cybersecurity is not easy to get into, certifications are not easy to study for, you need time, patience and consistency for things to start making sense.

I've never used cert master before so I can't recommend it. However, in my certification playlist, I show you how I passed them with link to all the resources [ ru-vid.com/group/PLDqMNdDvMsRkA4hm81vcnyVKhfToAs6oY ]
If im running really low on money,but I have a lot of free time and im trying to get an entry level SOC/analyst job,is it a good idea to skip security + cert and go for BTL1 CySa+ ?
This’ll be a tough choice but even though the SEC+ has more clout, I’d still recommend getting the BTL1 over it. If you were to get a SOC Analyst interview, you’d fare better with it
Check out this playlist for more information about defensive security training and my comparisons amongst certs and training. [ ru-vid.com/group/PLDqMNdDvMsRkdd0WYvLz-yOrFMY3x6n_F ]
Just watched all of your comptia videos. Knowing what you know now would you still use mike Myers as a primary resource like you said you did in your A+ videos
@@DayCyberwox just here to update you. Since that comment I got the A+, N+ and S+. Debating on what I want to do know, my goal is to become a soc analyst. But I appreciate all of your help!
No, absolutely not. Check this video out for better context: Do You REALLY Need Certifications to Get Cybersecurity Internships? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-epwoE6CbE3s.html
Currently im doing network+ and python side by side but im not doing network+ for giving exam what do you think is it ok if i dont give exam and just get knowledge from it?
Did you watch the entire video? The point is not taking the cert, it’s gaining the knowledge from the concepts defined by the cert and besides HR and employers lover certs so why not. It also helps a structured learning path for freshers. We’re all built differently, certs might work for some and might not for others. To each his own.
@@DayCyberwox the knowledge in the cert is available in the internet aint it ? So the cert just give you sort of a curriculum to follow but my point is would it give you what you need to be good at your job ?
Hey Day i was looking into learning Splunk but noticed they have moved away from the Splunk Fundamentals 1 & 2. They now have a few classes that are $500 each, what would you say is the best current way to learn the core principal's of Splunk at the moment?
