I believe my current path based on jobs that I'm looking at in my area... Sec+ and A+ will be the certifications I need to focus on

This would put me in a great position to get a Helpdesk job to start cutting my teeth in the industry.

I believe a job as a GRC or SOC Analyst is an option as well, given my skillets. Sometimes and we all know this, You got to reevaluate and then reengage.

Tech Gee a real one, that’s where I been getting my study materials for the Security+.
 
So my Job trying to move me to a different team as a Senior Information Specialist. They dont know that I know they make 40k more than my current position. They been having me in their meetings preparing me and transitioning me for the switch, but I aint seen no offer yet for the title change. I aint going over there if they don't pay me more.
 
Good morning fellas,

I've been reading some articles the past couple of days about zero trust.. With regards to protection strategies and plans. Never trust always verify is essentially what it comes down to. Makes a lot of sense, Many components to it though.

Fellas, watch the first 23m of the video



Person says you don't need certs to get in the door for a help desk job. I will ready my resume and apply.

There’s people who try to steer others from help desk but fuck it, it’s a foot in the door and it doesn’t have to last forever.

Also for those trying to get Security+ (like me), the current version of the exam is being retired July 31st. So get in where ya fit in now. I literally dropped everything I was doing to start studying for that shit today once I heard that.

Facts, I was like a busy bee studying all the cybersecurity courses, but yeah I'm rerouting. My interview skills are much better as my confidence has grown. I know what I want to tell the hiring manager.

The job I'm looking at is at a children's hospital, which hospitals always need "front end" tech support. This may be a good opportunity, can't wait to hit submit
 
Just started this new job that isn’t IT related but I would be traveling regularly but making a good amount of money and I know a help desk job wouldn’t pay me that much. I desperately need the money so I’m gonna be going that job and still going for a few certifications

Nothing wrong with help desk, just dont get stuck there and it will wear you down. I started in HD and used that experience to move to Sys Admin and eventually Cyber. Technically you can go straight to Cyber, but getting people to take a chance is the hardest battle.

I got my job to start looking for Help Desk and Sys Admins experience for the Junior Cyber Analyst jobs because i know they can do it.
