CISSP cert requires proof of at least 5 years industry experience in at least two of the eight technical domains. Just curious how you go from working in industry long enough to get your CISSP, to working at Walmart.

[@RN-kl4kp]

I have to say the content have been so refined since this lockdown .guess you you are getting really good at this

[@dccybersec]

Do something 200 times hopefully you get better at it eventually 😂 thanks for the kind words! I hope I continue to get better

[@architvats2633]

Being from India, those wages compared to the world really breaks my heart

[@dccybersec]

Me too. I was so shocked I even read the numbers wrong while doing this video. After making the video I just sat there staring at the screen for ages. What a load of shit!

[@AnkitSharma-sc9jj]

When Dc said 16 million i was shocked and again checked the amount😂 really its very low according to 8 year exp.

[@elasticharmony]

Fact is those wages are low, back before the 2008 crash they were 200,000 and less experience.

[@maheshchandra452]

that's hurt even in India peoples bro

[@dccybersec]

It’s crazy. How is this even possible?

[@soumyanilbiswas_reveng007]

Actually in india cyber security courses is not taught differently in btech courses ,in Mtech CS we will give networking and Ai related courses.... No courses in India are totally divoted to cybersecurity or network security....

[@soumyanilbiswas_reveng007]

Also thanks for convering indian jobs news and stuffss.....🙏

That explains why it asks for a computer science degree and not a CyberSec one. Interesting!

Pretty true and even the few Institutes which sell cources are crap.Self study is the key you are motivated and learn more.Everything is freely available online.One must just be dedetacted to learn.

[@CaliKaliLinus007]

So when someone get certified in Pentester, as No Experience - what level / or as (Job position) to apply for? Im wanting to go towards Pentester with (eLearnSecurity) due to i understand with theory/hands on.

[@mage2806]

When you have certifications a degree and have been practicing all the relevant skills do you just apply ? because alot of the jobs I see for the uk you require like 2 years experience in pen testing and there isn't really any entry level pen testing jobs well rarely anyway

Hey Dc, what are your thoughts on Western Sydney University’s course, bachelor of cyber security and behaviour? It integrates a psychological side to cyber sec. Thanks!

[@dccybersec]

Maaaate I was just looking at that course today. Someone messaged me about it in my discord. It looks pretty fun to be honest. I love the social engineering side of cyber and it’s honestly the easiest way into a system. I’m glad universities are bringing this into their curriculum now

[@jackywong3518]

Thanks mate!

[@KayVeeKv]

Hey mate, how come you missed Canada, isn't there any requirements for pentester

[@dccybersec]

There sure is! I was just covering the majority of my audience in this video. After doing a quick bit of searching, it looks like the average salary for a pentester in Canada is around $90k. 2 years experience is usually required and being able to speak French and English seems to be the norm (in Montreal especially). Here’s a link to a job on indeed ca.indeed.com/cmp/CGI-Group/jobs?jk=6b00791d3e70448a&start=0&clearPrefilter=1 hope this helps :)

[@KayVeeKv]

@@dccybersec oh this certainly does help. I was thinking this would be based on pentesters' demand and not viewer centric. Should have thought in that perspective too. Thanks a lot for that info, even though we can Google that out; it adds a lot of credibility when it comes from someone who knows what they are doing mate. Appreciate it, good luck for all your future videos.

[@cr7fanclub747]

Bro I have a question, On Quora I read that if i( as an Indian) do MS in Cybersecurity in US or UK or Aus, then also it would be tough of an outsider to get a role in a company for Eth Hacking purposes. Is it true? Please reply, I am serious abt this career
