Yes you can easily get into cybersecurity if you did it 5-10years ago. but now hell nah.

[@raeesahmed7283]

but now with AI and big data security jobs will be more in demand

i disagree, tech is growing , cloud and all , hackers and frauds are looking for new exploits ,there is opportunity

What’s your take for it being oversaturated & competitive?

[@empiricaltraining]

Yeah that’s just not true at all. The industry is just looking for better quality people which it is lacking as what people are being taught isn’t related to the day to day job -AJ

Not doable in 2024. There’s been huge layoffs in cybersecurity from the mid to senior level which has pushed the junior analysts out of the running for jobs. I’ve been applying as a junior analyst for 2 years solid and I have had no luck do to companies going with the senior analysts…

We also have someone in a third stage interview for a job asking for 3 years worth of experience. They worked in IT, did our training and projects and have been consistently getting interviews. Proof is in our free community, link on our page! -AJ

i am also a student of BS E-commerce which is combination of business and IT but i am also passionate about cybersec. will i be eligible for MS cyber sec after this degree and is it worth it to start as a web developer and then transit to cybersec after few years bcz its very hard to get into cyber sec with no experience

[@empiricaltraining]

Urm you’ll want to do some cybersecurity specific training, whether that it is a degree or certifications it’s up to you. You could go straight into a cybersecurity job. Or go into IT first and then cybersecurity -AJ
