I love hearing his progression, I don't believe any of the hype of 6 months to a year cybersecurity analyst shit. Even as a mechanic it took years of trial and error. I'm giving myself 2 years of helpdesk/it support while doing cybersecurity and cloud training before I even touch a soc 1 application. Trying to work on an audi without touching a toyota is sounds crazy.
Idk if the metaphor works…I work on Audis and if I started working on a Toyota first it would Do me no good, jst set me back in time. Why? Because the engines are totally different and in turn many of the parts are different. My fellow master Audi mechanics (20yr old veterans at the minimum) would tell you they can’t rebuild a Toyota engine with out the help of a Toyota expert and a lot of trial and error. And vice versa. 2 completely different set ups.
@@moiseshernandez4262 you started the game on hard difficulty, most techs I've met did not touch euro cars before working on basic vehicles. Just using Toyota VS audi as a metaphor for complexity
Well good for you.Don’t discourage people on the grind doing it; I am a living testimony.Went from 0-7 IT certifications in 5 months and actually got hired right after🤷🏾♂️
Listen. I was working at a bank as a teller! I was "promoted" to help desk and was making IN MOST CASES LESS than Teller. But I'm treating it as paid training because a lot of what I'm learning in the Google Cybersecurity Certificate has been a lesson at help desk.
Seriously considering getting into this field. I do have a degree and work experience, though not IT or computer related. Right now I'm thinking of a path that looks like this: Google Cybersecurity certification - > Security +, A+ and Network +, start building any portfolio projects I can along the way. Instead of going straight into cybersecurity, I was thinking of going for an entry level IT role first while I build more certs/projects on the side. After a year or so, then I'd start going for Cybersecurity roles. Would that be a smart path? Since I don't come from a technology background, I feel spending a year in IT first while building up cybersecurity skills on my own time would help.
Im only an "infant"in the cybersecurity arena learning the free trial course on cousera. Knowing how vulnerable we are as a whole and not having a big # of people in this area makes me interested in this field. I guess ill see where this leads.
