[@WithSandra]

Would you prefer a Cyber Security Analyst or a Cyber Security Engineer role? 💻🔐

[@daria350]

Cyber Security Analyst for sure! Sandra, How can I reach you regarding mentoring session, it says 'out of stock' on your website

[@mo6594621]

Security Analysts

[@dmarshall5877]

Just a question, is it essential or do you need to learn to create a website/software in cyber security, or just know how they works?

[@thatocyberspace]

Analyst

[@stanleyisma7243]

analyst rn

[@brunom12111]

Right now i'm working as a cyber security analyst in the red team, and I got offered a job to be a Security Engineer where the salary is almost double.. It's hard to choose because my favorite part of security is the offensive side, and I know that being a security engineer the priorities and responsibilities are different

[@goonwangdu9676]

just choose the one u like to do

[@kingzade]

ur killing it, every time I search anything related to cybersecurity you pop up

[@nathanzebedee5263]

your content is always appreciated and it is very impressive how much content you pump out

[@WithSandra]

Aw thanks nathan! :) some weeks the struggle is real ngl but I hate missing a deadline even if its just for my own YT post LOL.. I really appreciate the support tho! ☺️

[@johnczech7074]

Once again Sandra I'm impressed by the amount of knowledge you impart in a short video! Thank you. I'm getting ready to take my a+ certification. Hope to get security + by end of 2022!

[@WithSandra]

Aw thank you John! :) Good luck with your A+ cert, you got this! 🎉🎉

[@Notepad123]

How did it go?

[@awesomeness967]

always appreciate your content. thank you so much!

[@WithSandra]

thanks so much for your support! :)

[@Ja22i]

This was great, thank you!

[@ketkidavda8588]

hii Sandra!! thank you so much for the video!! would you consider doing an analyst vs compliance and assurance role?

[@WithSandra]

Thanks Ketki! Yeah since i'm earlier in my career i'm really just learning as much as possible but compliance/assurance is a lot more process/rules heavy so you may be spending a lot of time looking at existing processes, ensuring teams are following them, etc so I'd make sure this is sometthing you'd really be interested in, good luck! :)

[@bjeng7697]

Hello from Malaysia. Thanks! Appreciate your explanations!

Thanks so much for watching and happy holidays!😁🥳

[@andresorbe9426]

One other thing I have noticed while looking to get into either Software Engineering or Cybersecurity Engineering is that Software Developers are different than Software Engineers, like they do most of the same thing but for Engineers are paid more and handle most technical tasks. This might be more conjecture but I think companies post jobs that should have the title as software engineer into software developer to pay people less

[@carolinekleiner8786]

For my org, we have analysts, engineers and architects. Not sure if that is very unusual or not because it’s my first org that I’ve been apart of. Anyway I’ve been enjoying all of your videos, keep it up!

[@WithSandra]

Wow I feel the same way bc this is my first role out of college so I'm always left wondering if it's just my company or all companies lol, but I think it varies pretty widely depending on the size of the company specifically, thanks so much for the support Caroline! :)

[@thefactspewer]

hey sandra the video was very informative and helpful, but I am very confused between cyber security and software engineering. I want to choose a career in which I can have a great work life balance, less stress and Great pay which would be better?

[@Tiffanyii]

The video is so helpful cause right now I'm thinking about changing my major from communication and computer engineering to cyber security engineer and I was wondering what is the difference between the 2 roles that you mentioned I read a statement that said that cyber security engineer is a senior analyst but I think it's not accurate Thank you ❤❤

[@lindatsang7137]

Hi I’m in yr12 & uni application closes in 2 days😂 I want to become cybersecurity engineer so should I do bachelor of computer science major in cybersecurity + master (4-5yr) or just a bachelor honour (4yr)? Which one helps more for job?Also how do I become one? Can I become one as soon as I graduate or need many yrs of experience? Thx!!!🙂

[@danmaster9183]

Which job is easier

[@UnixGuy]

Nice wok

[@WithSandra]

thanks so much for watching :)!

@@WithSandra My pleasure, you have a lovely channel, Keep doing the good work

[@kendallarmand7192]

I'm in the same boat trying to decide

[@WithSandra]

I have a few vids on Cyber vs SWE on a playlist in my channel as well, good luck with yoru decision Kendall! :)

[@shivkp5769]

Is network security Engineer and cybersecurity engineer same ?? @Sandra

[@WithSandra]

Hi Shiv! Not necessarily, I'm working in a cyber security engineer role and never touch networking but i'm sure there are some that do, it's definitely more niche but some companies might have the same general title for all cyber/network sec engineers

[@Geopoliticalguy-z8n]

Is coding required for security analyst?

[@619akil]

Python, SQL, Linux (good to know these, essential in Cybersecurity)

[@AndersonJA]

Given my coding background I like engr

[@WithSandra]

True, i noticed a lot of people who come from dev backgrounds prefer security engineering roles, thanks for watching :)!

[@craigheard2504]

Hi Sandra. I believe Engineer appeals to me.

[@WithSandra]

That's awesome! They're def the ones doing the hands on technical work, debugging, solving problems, etc, I know you'd be an awesome engineer Craig!

[@craigheard2504]

Good vid Constructive critize imo you talk a little to fast 💨 but good vid tho

[@WithSandra]

Haha i appreciate that! thanks for the support :)

[@nycfurious]

Can a 30 yrs old with low level of math study and become a cyber security engineer?

[@WithSandra]

Of course! :) It'll take some studying and learning how to use some popular tools out there for cyber roles, enrolling in a bootcamp, learn 1-2 popular coding languages, and creating some connections/networking at different meetup or b-side events (which are usually free!), and you'll rarely if ever use math as a cyber security engineer lol so def don't worry about that one!

[@nycfurious]

@@WithSandra thank you so much for the encouragement and tips

[@trustytrade3134]

Nice video, but why are you deepening your voice it’s not natural
