5 years it tech support, sec+, azure az900, a splunk (siem) cert, and a home lab with extremely strong labs highlighting my certs. Hundreds of jobs. 100% rejection and ghosting. The cyber field is much, much harder to break into than all these influencers try to tell you. I followed the roadmaps, did all the extras, and I still l get shit on. Just wanna give up and feel like I wasted so much time and money

I am switching careers to union electrician or police officer. Cybersecurity has been a waste of time for me.

What was your experience? Can you please elaborate? @@zKaRiisMa

5 years tech support is the backbone of your application. There's no way you should get rejections. It seems you are certified in basic sec+, and partial defensive skills like siem. I suggest go for pen test labs threat hunting, bounty hunting, get some exp in grc, soar tools. You have to have all round info about cyber security for entry level. All the best 😊

Interviewing is a skill set you need to have to be able to land a job

And if your communication skills are poor.. Work on it. This field is not for introverted people!

So helpful, thanks for sharing! Would love to see more content in the GRC space, I feel it isn't talked about enough in comparison to the other security domains

Good information! I’m trying to transition from insurance. Time to buckle down.

Hi Markel. Thanks for sharing this. I am planning a career in GRC and currently preparing to write the ISO27001 as my first GRC cert. I have a Bachelors with about 14years of IT/Admin support experience. Further certs include Business Systems Analysis, Project Management, Sec+ and ISC2 CC certs. I have scoped and executed multiple projects in this time. I also have some experience recovering from incidents. Which framework do you suggest as a first and one to niche in? Also do you have any advice ito how I can land my first GRC role? Hoping to hear back!

i’m not sure if i missed this piece of information throughout the video or it just wasn’t there, (not that it’s something that would be innately) but how long can an absolute beginner in the world of Information Technology expect to have to study and sit examinations until they could reasonably land an entry level job in cybersecurity? i’d assume at least 3 years of grinding the basics?

@markelsamuel1618 3 ай бұрын

It took me about that time reasonably if you factor in my bachelors degree. I have a more detailed video at this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2TCl6prmqyGZ6Msi=tbgvzICLu-vqvD4k

@M0dr0 Ай бұрын

I'm being fo real, the exam fees are high if you don't have a good job so you save...what about a path for the underprivileged to make it because all streamers talk of paid things and what not as a form of helping what about the other side of the coin...

Do you like giving a time frame on how long it took to learn a framework? I plan to specialize in NISR CSF and ISO27001

@markelsamuel1618 3 ай бұрын

Good question! Depends on several factors, probably somewhere around 3-5 years. Thats why in the video the first middle level role takes about 3-5 years of experience.

@The34thousandE 3 ай бұрын

@@markelsamuel1618 so if you were me, if you just got your security+ and already got 5 months of I.T Support experience, what would you do, applying to GRC roles while learning a framework?

@Stillthatgirl. 3 ай бұрын

3-5 years to learn a framework? ISO27001 isn’t but a few pages. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying.

@The34thousandE 3 ай бұрын

@@Stillthatgirl. I knew I wasn’t tripping, I didn’t wanna ask on that cuz I never read it myself, but most I’ve heard ppl said it took them like 1-2 months to fully learn a framework

@markelsamuel1618 3 ай бұрын

@@The34thousandEI misunderstood your question my apologies, I thought you were asking in terms of applying to jobs, they are expecting someone with 3-5 years of experience with practical application of compliance to the frameworks mentioned NIST CSF or ISO. ISO 27001 isn’t but 93 controls across 4 categories. If you’re during this for pure knowledge it doesn’t take long at all.

My guy. You're pretty big on the degrees. The government is getting rid of that requirement next year for most roles. If you want to stand out, yes, go for it. But it's definitely not necessary to move up in the ranks.

@markelsamuel1618 2 ай бұрын

No argument there bro, I will say though majority of the private sector jobs have degrees as a qualification. But shoot your shot with “skill based” learning. The date used in this video is based on the overwhelming job when searching these specific titles.

I have my Bachelor's from there. I'm starting my Master's in less than a week. I like it. If you can stay focused and self motivated it can be a good thing. Yes, some people finish fast. There are others that take as long or longer than a traditional university. It all comes down to what you are willing to put into it.
