Great video Jon! I’ll be leaving the military and am currently pursuing a SkillBridge for Cyber Security and taking a course for my Security + Certification. One of the best takeaways I’ve gotten from you was to stay aware of my capabilities and knowledge levels. As I’m going through I’m realizing I need to work on my Networking knowledge and will more than likely go back to work on securing my Network + certification to sharpen up my skill set. So thank you for the content you make, it’s really motivating and keeps my passion for this industry going!

Now I'm fine again and been looking at a security analyst job.. do I have a chance or do I need more experience/education to get a job?

@JonGoodCyber 10 месяцев назад

Certainly any experience is better than none but 3 months probably won't put you in the top tier compared to a lot of other candidates. I recommend checking out my free eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) where I've included a roadmap of certifications and skills to pursue.

@JonGoodCyber Год назад

The subjects that you've mentioned don't really have anything to do with IAM unless for some reason you were randomly assigned to manage accounts. Sometimes IAM roles deal with APIs and automating account provisioning/deprovisioning so it really comes down to what that employer is looking for in the role. In most organizations, you're going to need more IT and Cyber Security knowledge to qualify for even a tier 1 role so I recommend grabbing my free eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) and looking at what I list for skills and certifications.

Hey Jon, I am 4 classes away from my bachelors in Cyber Security with my A+, Network+, Project+, Security+, CySa+ and Pentest+ and currently work in healthcare as a computer tech. In your experience, how supportive are others towards people moving into their first "security" posistion? Is it a more sink or swim environment or are veterans more apt to show you the ropes and teach you using real world tools?

@JonGoodCyber 9 месяцев назад

It's really going to vary based on the company, department, and team. Typically, Cybersecurity departments and teams are staffed on the leaner side of what they need so I wouldn't go into a role expecting that somebody is going to hold your hand too much. That is also why it's very challenging for somebody to have their first tech job in Cybersecurity and why you have to show a hiring manager that you can be self sufficient in a lot of different situations.

@Freefire-re1qp 7 месяцев назад

Hai ,is there a lot of math in cybersecurity degree

@IrelandsSon1983 7 месяцев назад

@Freefire-re1qp yeah there's a good amount. I think it depends a lot on the school but I'd be prepared to take up to and including Calc. It's all about persistence. Just don't give up. There's so many amazing resources available today that it's really not as bad as it seems

@JonGoodCyber 7 месяцев назад

@@Freefire-re1qp it really depends on the degree and which university/college department is offering the degree. Engineering or computer science departments typically require more math, whereas other departments won't require nearly as much. When you start working in the career field, little to no math is required for most areas, which shows the general disconnect with some curriculum that you'll be required to complete.

One thing that concerns me is for almost every certification that they list, the website says something along the lines of "you will be prepared to START studying for X certification."

@JonGoodCyber Год назад

Party bus driver, now that is quite an interesting change! Honestly I'm not sure where the idea that we use math so much comes from but perhaps it's a confusion caused by Computer Science. Anyways, it's pretty rare that any profession today uses a ton of math and Cyber Security fits into that category. Any math that you might do will be fairly light and easily done with a computer. Professionals who work in cryptography research will certainly use a decent amount of math, but given that you don't like math, it's unlikely you're going to end up in that kind of job as you'd need advance degrees in mathematics.

They are easier to get in comparison to a full time job but you're still competing with other people to get the position. The real value of an internship is to network with professionals and hopefully get hired on by that company either directly after or once you finish your degree program. Interns are very rarely given the same level of access as a full time employee so the actual "experience" is going to be limited but it's still better than nothing.

Unfortunately, no certification or degree will guarantee you a job but those certainly could help get you an interview if your resume is attractive to employers (check out my video on resumes). Once you get into the interview, it will be up to you to sell yourself to the employer but you could potentially get an entry level IT or Cyber Security job with that level of knowledge.

@JoseOrozco-se4fs Год назад

Jon should I get a associate degree in cyber security and certifications or should I get a bachelors in cyber security?

@JonGoodCyber Год назад

It really depends on what you want to do in your career. There are many people who get into Cyber Security with no degree and are quite successful but ignoring cost and assuming that the degrees are relatively similar progressions, long term more education is better because of how things work with employers. Of course the degree program matters because you can find examples where either an associates or bachelors program are garbage but that's why you evaluate specific programs against each other. Management positions (especially high level management jobs) and sometimes high level staff jobs are going to be challenging to get without at least a bachelors degree based on the way things are currently operating. Additionally, keep in mind that you will not eliminate a certification requirement or desire by employers by achieving a bachelors degree or any other level of degree but it can make you more competitive assuming all other things are equal.

@eugeniocurtis6848 Год назад

Is it possible to get a job with just a bachelors and no certificate?? And will this be a difficult job or somewhat easy because I’m hearing a mix of both

@JonGoodCyber Год назад

Sure it's possible but it's also possible to get a job without any certifications or degrees. The main point here is that the more qualifications or "extra" factors that you bring to the table, the higher probability you have of landing a job because you're a more competitive candidate. Not considering cost and other factors, if I could only choose one (degree or certification) to have at the entry level, then I would pick a degree but I can always come up with answers for either side depending on the specific situation. In general, I would shoot for both certifications and degrees because love it or hate it, that's what a lot of your job competition is doing so although not impossible without one or both, you'll have to work quite a bit harder to achieve the same results.

Awesome and thank you for sharing! Keep in mind that certifications are only one part of what goes into making a solid candidate in this career field. I also highly encourage at least going through the interview process with other types of employers, even for example government contractors. The choice is certainly up to you and depends on what you're looking for, but there are certainly a lot of great opportunities outside of the federal government that pay substantially more with better benefits/perks for tech professionals. This is not a career field where becoming stagnate or complacent are you friend if you want to maximize your potential.

Hi John, I'm considering switching careers to cyber-Security. Do you recommend any particular schools? Secondly, would I be able to obtain an entry level position with the recommended certificates? or do most employers requires a Batchelor's degree?

@JonGoodCyber 6 месяцев назад

I recommend grabbing my free eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) as that will answer a lot of your initial questions. For places to learn I always recommend Cyber Training Pro ( www.cybertrainingpro.com/ ). As far as degrees go...that's a loaded question...Can they help? Yes...Can you learn the stuff without a degree? Yes...It's very situational, so the question is better for a Career Coaching session, but certainly in the long-term, you are better off having at least a degree in something than not having one at all.

Thank you so much! Is it recommended to have some education as an IT professional before pursuing a career in Cyber Security?

@JonGoodCyber 6 месяцев назад

@@user-ks9cl6fn3j The resources I've provided assume you don't have any previous knowledge or experience. As far as experience, I recommend applying to jobs throughout the process and ultimately trying to get a job in the career field (entry-level help desk, IT, or cyber security) so you can continue progressing in the field. It's much more difficult to jump to cybersecurity with no previous related work experience.

@JonGoodCyber 2 года назад

Are you at least getting calls for interviews? Based on the certifications that you currently have, if you aren't getting to the interview stage, then you most likely need to improve your resume (see my video on resumes). I would also think outside of the box as far as ways to get involved in the community either in-person or online. Landing an entry level role is entirely possible...I help people do it all the time. You should also be applying to all entry level IT jobs, not just cyber security so you can at least start building your experience.

@beefpanda4313 2 года назад

Add to that PenTest+ Certified as of yesterday. Still trying though.

@JonGoodCyber 2 года назад

Try to not get discouraged but also keep in mind that certifications are only one factor in actually landing a job. Being overloaded in one area like certifications means nothing if don't have a good resume, can't interview well, potentially having a relevant background, or in some cases having a solid professional network of connections. As I said above, I help people land entry roles all the time and you've built up more certifications than many of those that I've helped, but now you need to make sure that you are a well rounded professional. Compare it to becoming a bodybuilder...sitting around all day working one muscle group like biceps might get you impressive arms but it's not going to win you a bodybuilding show (land you a job).

You even mentioned being partially through a master's, so all the time of a bachelor's, the time and money of the masters, the time and money of all the certs, the time and effort of making good resumes, and interviewing, to get an entry level job seems crazy. I wanted to be in the tech field but sometimes I wonder if it would be smarter to just do a trade.

@JonGoodCyber Год назад

The exact path regarding degrees and certifications can vary but the one thing that's consistent with successful people in this career field is that they continue to stay interested and study outside of work. Cyber Security is not a career field where you can become complacent because things are always changing and you have to keep current. Technology jobs, especially Cyber Security, provide a lot of benefits including flexible jobs and high compensation but at the end of the day, you have to do what works for you.

Sure it's possible but typically when I get that question people have significant gaps in their knowledge, or very little knowledge to start. Certifications themselves are not typically prerequisites for getting a Cyber Security job, however given that it's a highly competitive career field, you're making the road a lot more difficult for yourself when the majority are going to bring at least certifications to the table if not more even at the entry level. Not to mention, you can't effectively learn security specific knowledge if you don't have an understanding of the actual technologies and how they work normally.

What is the work life balance for a entry level cyber security analyst? I've heard a crazy mix and I know it's a very broad question. Just looking for your personal exp.

@JonGoodCyber 8 месяцев назад

It totally depends on the job, team, and company. Typically if you're working a job closely tied to operations, for example a SOC Analyst, then you'll work shifts and could have on-call responsibilities. Other areas like GRC tend to be more flexible because the work can be completed over long periods of time instead of at the moment of being detected. Security teams generally run leaner on staff so if you're not careful, you can easily find yourself on a team where the balance isn't all that great. Make sure you ask the right questions during interviews and ask about work/life balance for that specific team.

The comparison is comical, however inaccurate. There are a lot of things that you can do to make yourself highly competitive, all of which are topics throughout my videos.

Regarding the pay, the pay was on-par with what's approximately expected in an entry level Cyber Security position at any company (not "IT" which tends to pay less for entry level). You really shouldn't be targeting specific organizations in your job search early on because that's too limiting, however it's ok to focus on an industry or type of company.

There are a significant amount of jobs that do not require a clearance so if that's all your seeing, you need to modify your search. If a job does require a clearance as some do, then the only way to get a clearance is to be sponsored by an employer for a specific job because you cannot just apply for one on your own. As far as the jobs that you're applying to, are you getting calls for interviews? If not, it basically boils down to one of these three things: 1. The jobs are looking for somebody with more experience either overall in that specific area 2. You don't have enough skills/training or the right skills/training for the job 3. Your resume needs work because it's not attractive enough for the jobs that you submitting applications to The good news is that I have a lot of videos on resumes and how to make yourself more attractive to employers on this channel.

Of course location, company and other factors might make that number higher but it should never really be lower.

You didn't give any specific's on your job responsibility and what u did?

@JonGoodCyber 7 месяцев назад

Specifics in this career field vary so much from role to role, team to team, or company to company, even with the same job title, so they aren't really that important in the context of this video...however the general things are much more important because those can exist anywhere.

@mojojojo_BB Год назад

So you make reports?

@JonGoodCyber Год назад

This was my first cyber job (about a decade ago), so not my current job, but all jobs in cybersecurity are going to require you to write reports.

Northrop Grumman internship? Jesus christ that the reason why you got the job man, extremely hard internship to get. Very very few people can get that experience.

@JonGoodCyber Год назад

The internship certainly helped in getting a full time role within the same industry (defense) because that industry has some unique requirements that make a potential employee more attractive but especially for a first job, any internship will be valuable compared to no experience. Remember, an internship is only one factor that can help out of several. I help people all of the time land entry level jobs in Cyber Security that don't have prior work experience, the same credentials or prior internship opportunities that I had.

@@JonGoodCyber you should note that having a clearance also is a huge pro in the cyber community. Other than that thank you for the education vid!

@JonGoodCyber Год назад

That can certainly be a benefit specifically for the defense industry but there are plenty of jobs that don't require any kind of clearance. I wouldn't really classify it as a huge pro because it is situationally dependent and there are pros and cons to it. Thank you for watching and for the feedback!

Yeah but now there's gonna be too many people in Cyber Security and it lowers your pay.

@JonGoodCyber 2 года назад

It will be a long time before salaries start to stabilize and that also requires the talent shortage to be eliminated making cyber security easily accessible, which will take a while. A good comparison is to look at IT and programming professions that have been around for a long time but continue to increase their salaries despite having a massive talent pool.

I have a BA in criminology, but have been looking into being a cybersecurity analyst. I'm taking a cybersecurity bootcamp currently, and applied to an entry level cybersecurity analyst, so I'm hoping to get the job.

@JonGoodCyber Год назад

Nice and thank you for sharing! I'll cross my fingers for you. Keep in mind that sometimes people have to apply to many jobs before they are able to land something so if that does happen, don't let it get to you and keep going!

@johnnybaron5593 Год назад

Hey man, have you been able to land an entry level job so far ? I have security+ and working as an IT Help desk for the next 2-3 months or so and look for entry level of Cybersecurity jobs . Let me know how’s it going with ya. Bless

Seems more of the certifications that landed you a foot in the door albeit having a college degree.

@JonGoodCyber 4 месяца назад

Certifications are only one piece of the puzzle to make you a qualified candidate.

@tomallen6073 Год назад

60 a year, you got to be kidding, not much more than subsistence wages in todays world.

There are certainly factors like location for cost of living and if you have previous IT experience that could drive that number higher. I didn't have previous IT experience, I moved to a low cost of living area, had moving costs covered, and got a relocation sign-on bonus so it was fine. I was looking at around $80-85k in San Diego with another company (major tech brand) but that's basically the difference in cost of living so don't be fooled when you see numbers up to double that in an area like San Francisco. Cost of living calculators also help to compare salaries even though they aren't always 100% accurate they are still close enough. Keep in mind that this was also in 2014 although with a lot of the people that I help land entry level jobs, we're still seeing similar numbers for the same type of situation. As you progress and gain experience, those numbers can increase very rapidly especially if we start talking about equity and other incentives.
