The security field is so saturated right now. I work in IT and folks outside of the industry ask me all the time if they should do a career change into IT Security and I usually tell them No. it’s so hard to break into because it’s such a major and important role they don’t give those jobs to anybody. Security is NOT entry level.

@izamalcadosa2951 5 месяцев назад

Yupe!! 5 years minimum to get your CIISP! My buddy has a MS in Cybersecurity (Infrastructures and Systems) and he can't get a job in what he studied because he has 0 experience in that. He is a Desktop and Network Administrator for now!

@danpeoples1000 5 месяцев назад

@@izamalcadosa2951 Actually - you can study/pass the CISSP and hold an "associate CISSP" and continue to work in an IT role to accumulated time on job. Most agree that "associate" of CISSP is enough to satisfy HR, to effectively fast track yourself. that said , Sec+ is all that is required, until you have much more time in position - then your looking at CISSP or CISSM. You can be an ISSO with just Security+.

@johnsmith-ro2tw 4 месяца назад

Just like with any other tech job, there is low demand and high offer at junior level, and low offer and high demand at senior level. The tech guy is the guy rowing the boat, while everyone is watching idle. There are plenty of memes that illustrate that. So there is very high expectation from the tech guy who builds and maintains the product. And only a senior who knows all libraries, all programming languages listed in the JD, all algorithms, etc... can meet the high level of expectation.

The last thing the tech industry needs right now is more people trying to transition into it. Remember if you have a job in tech its one of the most volatile industies in terms of jobs and you will likely have job loss. typically tech companies do layoffs every 1-2 years. so sure you can make more but you are going to have to save it to spend while you are on a job search. don't believe me? I have been a Digital Designer for 35 years. i've been laid off about 14 times in my career. the last one was just this last cycle. it took me 1.5 years to find a job 1450 applications to jobs I was qualified for with an excellient resume. it cost me $100,000 of my own savings to get through. So don't think its all rosey. it isnt. in fact i would disuade you from it unless you are good with constant change, volatility and job loss.

@imanigordon6803 5 месяцев назад

I’m in IT now, really early stages, a year after college. I would only suggest this career for people used to change and solving technical problems. I agree it’s very volatile, and your job usually isn’t secure until you’ve absorbed massive amounts of information to the point where anywhere you go, you’ll be an undeniable asset. You have to have thick skin too, with rejection.

@DiamondFlame45 5 месяцев назад

This is where I disagree with Bryan big time. If you want to move up in IT (especially early on), I strongly recommend having that degree. Not having it is likely going to make your search a lot more difficult. Having the IT "Trinity" of work experience, certs and degree will give you more leverage to get those higher level jobs.

@izamalcadosa2951 5 месяцев назад

Agree!! Most big tech companies want a BS in CS or CIS or CIT or CSI. You don't really need a degree for IT but it does help!! IT and Tech are not the same thing but they get interchanged all the time. I'm a Software, Network and Hardware Engineer. IT=Information Technology, which is mostly front-facing dealing with end-users (front-end) and the Engineer part of "IT" is back-end, which has to do with the highly technical side of "IT" and you don't really deal with end-users as in employees in a direct manner. Software Engineers, Network Engineers and Hardware Engineers fall under the "Tech" space, for example. Buy, yes, you are right!!

@victorpetrescu13 5 месяцев назад

@@ALifeAfterLayoff not only the rates came down, the number of jobs also, and with that the volatility and competition raised. As mentioned above, rates went ~30% down, and I can add to that that the number of candidates per job went about 50 times higher (no, I am not kidding; there is a huge influx of ppl, from layoffs or baited by numbers from last years, especially since 2018, including the 2022 presented here -> and I know this for a fact; been doing this for over 18 years, and have the numbers to compare since a time when being a programmer was not even a "thing"). I usually like your videos, but I think in this one you are wrong (you are free to disagree ofc :D). I would really love a video with 2023 data, that includes current geopolitical and economics factors (China - Taiwan, Russia - Ukraine, the pandemic bauble, the late layoffs, etc.), AI influence on IT jobs, and stuff like that. Because is the end of 2023, I was expecting this video to be that... instead those are the 2022 numbers. The conditions changed drastically, and... as mentioned... I would really want to see a realistic take on that. I end by adding 2 things: 1. I do hope you are right, I do hope the numbers presented hold up, and life is full of roses. However, my personal analysis on 2023 has worse results, by a factor of minimum 10 (as I said, I hope I am wrong). Please make a video with recent data and prove me wrong (seriously, tag me to it or something... I would sleep better at night). 2. I am not saying do not get into IT (security, dev, devops, dba, etc.). So far (at least for me) it was a great career and I regret nothing. All I am saying is: Do not get into IT based on videos like this at this point in time, unless you really like the domain. Is the first time since 2008, when I actually fear for my job security. And I am really, really, really good at what I do, with a great portfolio and experience. Not a junior that just got into the field. And I am first to admit that if you would've asked me the same question in 2021, maybe even first half of 2022, I would've recommended the same as Brian does. Is just not the case any more.

Experienced people are still ok, but juniors... you have to be very lucky to get a good job.

Them, in 2023 the bubble burst, there were a lot of layoffs and most startups went down. And also there's the AI, everyone is thinking that AI can replace developers.

Been there, done that. 35 + years in IT. My advice: don’t go there as the employee value has essentially been removed. Soon it will all be AI driven. Humans will only be needed for low skill physical installations. After 17 years f 24/7/365 running a major international wetsuit manufacturing mixed multi platform computer infrastructure, with no write ups, no warnings ever. One Tuesday I was walked out of the office and given only 2 months severance after I turned 60. Why? At will employment allow you to be tossed out for any reason. You are a commodity to exploit, that is all. There’s never money to do things right the first time but there’s always more money for time required to fix the constant resulting issues from shortsighted penny pinching large bonus seeking cfo types. I literally had to threaten to quit 3x just to get the “family” who own the company to invest in 64 bit switches. When the owner couldn’t look at his cabin in Tahoe from his office because of constant packet loss, they decided that 64 switching was important enough to invest in. No training constant stress AND they expect you to fix any and every electrical device they may hose because you’re the IT guy. IT eventually sucks the life out of you. Don’t do it. It will all be fully automated in a few short years and you’ll be further devalued, abused and eventually completely burned out.

I work as a senior security engineer and I really struggled to break into the field of IT once I finished university with a computer science degree. My advice is to start with a very basic entry level role in the field of user support or networking support. If you're very lucky you could go into a SOC as a junior technician. The reason I suggest these pathways first is because security isn't an easy field to break into and often topics like networking and user troubleshooting are fundamental prerequisites to understanding security. Once you've gained IT experience along with networking skills you should do industry level certs, these might be something like Security+, CySA+ or CISSP. From this point on just keep trying to apply to security related roles. It will be easier once you have industry experience and certs to go with it!

I am a software engineer with 40 year's experience. The assumption that you are making is that people will get the best money if they work in a modern growth industry with the latest technology. This is definitely sensible advice for a young person. My son is a well paid British embedded software engineer who is well qualified in modern computer languages, the mathematics of control systems and in hardware design. What I have told him is that if he is ever given work using old technology then he should immediately look for a job using newer technology to avoid being one of many people labelled as having an old declining skill set. That being said I have been caught in this old technology trap myself and so cannot compete with modern software engineers. To me it is important to concentrate on those older skills that still pay well. Recently I have seen a resurgence in defence jobs using the Ada programming language which was once mandatory in all defence systems and continues to be important in mid life upgrades of these old systems. A lot of people working in old critical systems such as payroll systems using Cobol have recently retired. There are therefore currently great opportunities for people able to keep old critical Cobol systems such as American state tax systems running.

Btw. Speaking about IT... Does people in USA are also these last years so crazy to reskill themselves from different industries into IT like it happens now in central and eastern Europe?

@ALifeAfterLayoff 5 месяцев назад

Yes, a ton of people have switched into IT. Short term, the market has bene challenging, but long term there's strong growth.

What with DevOps and all the automation? Automation helps reducing costs by, unfortunately, reducing staff but that brings profit to the companies. What with machine learning? MLOps is the fastest growing part of the industry. It will include software developers but also a lot of different roles.

I was wondering the same. You could argue the same argument for QA test automation. Same context: helps automating repetitive tasks

I suggest if you have technical skills and want to maximize your income, work into a technical sales role. Know more than anyone about the software or technical solution being sold, hone your interpersonal skills, become the person everyone on the sales team wants to bring in for a demo or Q and A session. Learn how to respond to request for proposals that everyone else hates to work on. Get to know your technical vendors and ask them questions about their jobs, especially if they take you to lunch. :-)

Any advice for folks from other countries in Africa/Asia/South America applying for jobs in the US or EU? I currently have a job in a fully remote company honestly i feel it was luck. However, I recently got a job interview for a big company and once I mentioned I'd need a visa and the interviewer made a face. (Mind you they mentioned they'd be open to employees from different regions and visa accommodation). Any tips to for job searching/application that for people like myself?

I can tell you lack career and IT knowledge. IT is one of the careers that has many certifications and can be self thought.

@mochs3869 5 месяцев назад

@@george31097 Completely....in fact, some of the techs I've worked with didn't have IT degrees at all - they started out in the call centers and moved over. The problem is, someone told HR along the way that a degree in IT is a must have and they've ran with it ever since. I'd been doing IT on my own for a decade before I went to college. I kept finding no one would give you the time of day if you didn't have at least a 2 year degree in something. So I did. Windows 10 had been in regular use for 3 or 4 years and the college I went to was still teaching Windows 8 - no mention of 10 at all. I knew most of everything as I"d been doing already - picked up a little bit of network knowledge I didn't have before, but that's about it. All just to get a piece of paper that says someone else agrees I know how to do stuff I'd been doing for 10 years already.

Companies not embracing remote are not able to fill these jobs. If you want on-site or hybrid these jobs are a plenty. Most tech ppl are used to and can do their jobs remotely. In the UX space more and more companies are looking for unicorns. That’s an impossible job description doing two or more professional jobs while paying lower wages. Ex. A UX/UI Deverloper. Two separate jobs. Each paying $130K+ a year. So essentially they want to pay $120K a year for two jobs which traditionally cost $260K a year combined.
