Yep. Work from home or work from anywhere basically means you always "ON". I have traveled with my laptop for 20 years. It is rare that I take a vacation and not have my laptop with me. I am a 25 year vet in the IT industry, but I love it. I would not have it any other way.

Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future…

@Siegefya 5 месяцев назад

Big one, salary he's talking about isn't common. More common salary for cyber security roles, like in a SOC, is a lot less than he's talking about. So that's the biggest con, is depending on the company/job, you'll be on call, and you won't be getting paid 200k, if you're tier/level 1 in a NOC/SOC... You aren't getting 150-200k a year, gonna be more like 40-80k a year. So if you can deal with that in a cyber security role, for a time... (1-3 years) and learn enough and do well enough to move up, you can get to what he's talking about, he's not talking an entry level security role. Cyber security is a great field if you're into that sector of IT, but it's not just... Get some certs and jump into a 200k role. No, MAJORITY of people it takes them at least 1-3 years to get to what he's talking about. Some even longer, some have taken the long path to the field like 5-10 years, working in other parts of IT like help desk, sysadmin, network admin/engineer etc. These days, good path is other part of IT for 1-3 years, then apply to cyber jobs.

He didn't name the real con in this short clip, and that's...if you don't like cyber security, (ie, you end up not wanting to keep up with it, and there is a lot to keep up with outside of work btw) its burn out central, it's not one of those sectors of IT where you can just slog through and keep up with the job enough to support yourself or your family...no it requires a lot. Cyber roles are like the top of burn out in IT, the second most burn out for people is usually Network Engineering. So if you can keep from burning out, it's great. But you gotta really love that field of IT to not burn out, and you NEED to keep up with it, like every day you need to stay on top of exploits regardless if you're on the blue or red. Because here's the truth, when you start burning out, you will slip up more and more...and it won't be a situation at that point of asking yourself if you want to be in it or do something else in IT or not, no, your job will be on the line at that point. Don't get it twisted, they get rid of people who can't hang, regularly ans they do it quickly. So don't think Cyber is one of those parts of IT where you get chance after chance after chance to mess up, no you only get so much string to hang yourself, kind of like in network engineering, you only get so many chances at fvcking up the network stoping a companies production. Problem in Cyber security is they are having issues hiring people who are motivated enough, or who know enough...also problem with burn out, alert fatigue etc. Some people don't make it out of tier/level 1 NOC/SOC positions, they end up quitting or getting replaced. There's a reason the level he's talking about gets paid like they do. And btw the pay hes talking about here in cyber is level 2+... nobody in level 1 is getting paid 200k a year, more like 40-80k (yes it does vary by that much depending on company). And 200k is the high end of tier/level 2, more like 90-150k usually, 200 it as more rare at level 2. Level 3..well, that's like crazy money, they can get like 400k+...many times close to a million depending on the company. I can tell by this dudes interviews that he really loves IT, and he loves security. And that's why he was able to make it to where he's at at the pace he did, and continue to thrive in that space. Again people, don't look at the salary he's talking about and think oh hell yeah I can do it for that much, oh really? Could you do it for 50k? 60k? 80k? Because if you can't, don't bother. Those jobs (multiple security roles) isn't what you think it is, you better love providing security support to a companies data assets, because it does not stop. Not on birthdays, or holidays, or deaths of a family member, or on birth of a child...it doesn't stop. IDK, I think its a dope and exciting field...but so are many parts of IT, and cyber really asks a lot of people. They aren't paying him that much for nothing. Fires do happen just like in other parts of IT, in fact cyber security fires, are damn near the worst IT fires...so you gotta be on point.

@rl55555 7 месяцев назад

I'm currently studying in institute and my specialty is cybersecurity (or technical protection of information, as they call it) It definitely seems interesting, despite all the cons (a lot time working, bad for eyes) However, what bugs me is the fact that the degree will be specialist but not bachelor. Which means it will be problematic to continue studying after graduating (Western unis don't really know what is a specialist degree because there's no such thing out there), so I'm also practicing programming in order to be able to apply for various jobs

@techisthenewblack 7 месяцев назад

That's a smart move! Combining cybersecurity with programming skills can open up a world of opportunities.

I used to be stationed up north for the airforce working as a mobile mechanic. Sometimes I’d get called out after duty hours to drive 50-60 miles to fix a truck that was broken down somewhere or wouldn’t start. A lot of those calls were because the operator left the truck in gear. Imagine waking up at 1am driving 50 miles just to put the vehicle in park and it starts fine lol. Getting a call after hours working for cyber security for 5x the salary sounds like cake to me 😂

They record their classes In case you miss any. They are not partnered with tech companies, but they fix your resume & LinkedIn to industry standards and they assist you with finding jobs to apply to - in order to help set you up on interviews. They also do interview coaching & provide really good interview cheat sheets. They’re about $4k, but I have a $300 discount link that you use with their sales too! The discount Is attached to the link automatically. Careerist Discount Link: crst.co/techisthenewblack 2. CourseCareers is self paced. You can finish it in 3 weeks or 3 months. They offer tech sales roles only & are partnered with tech companies, so they’re usually able to get you a tech career quickly or a paid internship (up to $21/hr) while you wait to get hired on. They only offer courses for people in North America. They’re just $449 with my discount code that gives you $50 off! Discount Code: Cyrus50 CourseCareers Website Here: coursecareers.com/cyrusharbin

Seem like a minor inconvenience especially compared to my carrer as a truck driver who work 60-70 hours week and barely scrape 55k CAD$ (40k USD) the reality is pretty much every year is forget your family and friend and Christmas or new year or pretty much having any life for all that matters cause you're gonna be stuck on the road most of the time for weeks with no way home for things you have no control over. Had a revelation of driving trucks don't make sense anymore and It give me hope as to my choice of going back to school this year in cybersecurity if theses are some of the challenge i will face. Nothing is perfect or ever will be but this seem like a good idea to try it out for the working conditions even with the salary aside.
