Not sure if you went over this but I've been looking for the latest info on security clearances and disqualifiers. Especially if you're seeking higher clearances like Top Secret and what they look for. I ask this in let's say for example, most people are seeking those TS positions because they pay a lot more and because it pays well it helps them eliminate things like debt faster, pay off the mortgage quicker, etc. I personally am in debt and hope that they'd see it as a good thing that I'm seeking the role to be more financially responsible and pay it off as quickly as possible.

Its worth noting that for those who already have years of experience attempting to enter the gov space face issues simply finding a job. I know someone that has their clearance lapsed over and no companies are willing to sponsor her, even though she's at 15 years of experience and touched multiple technologies.

I went the cybersecurity route and got my Linux training on the way. LINUX is the backbone of everything. It has served me moving away from grc to cloud security and ethical hacking roles. I got my Linux+ first, then my RHSCA. Most of my certifications were free and I took advantage as a veteran.

@SimplyAdiva7 ай бұрын
@thelonggamebyJV Yes, my certifications have been mostly self-study. I've taken a boot camp, but they rushed the material, so I still ended up self-studying. I have a few certifications now, but I probably wouldn't have gotten so much if it wasn't free. Now I'm working on my Sans certifications.

@anthonymahounou9270 My son is 18. He was doing various hacking. I recently found out years before that, and I pushed him towards pentesting and doing it ethically. He was able to land a soc role while networking with me. He now decides he doesn't like cybersecurity and wants to become a software engineer. He already has the coding skills but wants to build on it, so he's taking a boot camp in July. Age has nothing to do with it. He's younger than you. What I can say helped me as a business owner who went into cybersecurity. Networking is very important. I joined a few organizations and started going to events to form organic relationships. I think it's a bit harder online, but it's still an option. I still had my business, but I had to slow down to focus on cybersecurity.
