I am glad that you pointed this out. I started the cyber sec journey back in 2021 and as I sat back and monitored people from here to Reddit, etc and I started to notice that a ton of people are over saturating a ton of entry level CS jobs, and not doing things you pointed out. Myself personally I take info from most with a grain of salt because I look for context so once I noticed a lot of things you noticed, I slowed down my schooling a little(about 80% done at WGU and I am not dropping out) so I can put a little more focus on projects and to ante up because I do see where things are going, I am doing my projects not only in the cloud but I am now targeting cloud roles. To add to those projects, I am challenging myself to the point that I did my first terraform deployment into AWS last week along with building a web app in AWS to get myself familiar with cloud more. The takeaway I got is that the CS careers do exist, we just scope too rigid as you pointed out. Everyone keep doing your projects, screenshot and document and it will work out in time, do not concern yourself with others on their job hunt if they do not give enough context.

Thanks for approaching this topic, this is probably one of the biggest things that scare people away from cybersecurity. You don't need a degree, you can prove your skill with certifications and projects and knowledge, your progressed is determined by how hard you work instead of how many years you waste in university/braindead jobs, and the only thing people are really scared of is, just like everything in IT- how hard is it to get a job? Since everyone wants experience. I'll share this with my friend who is just starting his journey, and I have to say that you, professor messer, and networkchuck probably have the best videos on youtube when it comes to cybersecurity, it's great to pair you 3 together since you talk about careers and help people plan while they only really talk about cybersecurity knowledge.

Absolutely nailed it on this video. I only got a IT support job cuz i literally never had a job before and wanted to start making money + get foot in the door(I'm 18). I spent a few months there and recently left for a Red Team internship thats remote. The soft skills and just general experience was the reason I was able to feel more confident going into those interviews. Not only that, but depending on where u work, u could get some sick training and the ability to work with great technology. For ex, i worked at an ISP and learned a lot about networking and worked on Juniper equipment.

good luck :)@@ruslanbedoev9264

I am currently in final of year of mechanical engineering. I have no interest in this field. I want to know that if I started cybersecurity for my career from now is it advisable for me? How much time it will be taken to secure job in this field

I have a diffrent story. I landed my first cybersecurity job.. accidently. And now am stuck. I hate this job because I do not have soft skills, I hate meetings, am going on sick leaves more and more, all my body is constantly telling me “run away”, but I fail to do so. I feel tooo burned out by doing what I dont like, that I cannot find any power to do the project I wanted so badly. I have one Defender for Endpoint licence and wanted to put it on some dirty machine, then experiment, for example write some malware and see how it looks like when it is detected. I cannot afford just to quit, I have two sons, I cannot afford to get without money, but my current job killed me so much that I struggle to find an exit. 😢 I feel it is not going to end good if I will not do anything about it

@@UnixGuy, am trying. No success so far. But I see a crisis too, the amount of entry-level jobs dropped tramendously. In my country I never ever saw so small list of vacancies.

Hello UnixGuy - I've been watching your videos for a while now, and only now asking for some help and direction. I recently completed a 12-month Cybersecurity bootcamp, but having trouble tailoring my resume to really attract cybersecurity recruiters. I am having trouble inserting my labs and practical skills into my resume, to attract potential roles. Please can you assist me. Thanks

Hey UnixGuy, I just came accross your videos and I have watched them almost all of them LOL you have given me so much precious information, thank you very much! I am struggling right now to pass a Java OCA cert, I failed it once I am going for it on the next one, failing it the first time has unmotivated me a bit, as in the beginning I wanted to pursue coding but I have always kinda liked and been curious about networking and linux OS. I feel like I will enjoy more studying for cybersecurity than purely doing coding. Im gonna go for google cybersecurity, HTB networking foundations, and security+ to start and then see your videos again lol. I want to ask you, honestly do you think 30 years old is a bit late to start? I know its not too late but, have you seen people start at this age and succeed in say 3 years or so? Again thank you so much for the incredibly valuable content you have in your channel. I don[t know why you dont have 1M+

You can’t get an entry level job in “cybersecurity” is like saying you can’t get an entry level job in medical. The difference is, HR in the medical field understands the roles of job duties in the medical field and posts those jobs so that candidates understand what they are applying to. If an HR says entry level cybersecurity, they don’t really understand what their business needs. HR could at least focus the role the business needs. Cybersecurity is too broad a term

I admit to making the same mistake as well, I have been applying to solely Cybersecurity analyst roles since i took the IBM Cyber Analyst Course. My friend who took the same course as I did, broadened his horizon and opened his LinkedIn profile to ethical hacking roles. 2 weeks later, he gets a job interview as a pen tester and after doing what he can, he was offered the job and they will provide him training. Disclaimer though, me and my friend both had cybersecurity internships so our profile has a bit of an edge. However, I still believe, it is possible to get your foot in the door. Keep your heads up!
