How I Would Learn Cyber Security If I Could Start Over | Amazon Principal Security Engineer

This is BY FAR my favorite video. You have clearly demonstrated your skills in your past videos. You do amazing stuff and break your videos down to simple tasks. In this video, you are just chatting with us. You and I have pulled up a chair and grabbed a beer, and we just talked, one friend to another. It was a fantastic video!

[@Wagmi0]

With IT background, it will definitely help alot!

[@FaithWarrior00]

I feel like I needed to see this video. I don’t have a formal CS certification, but I’ve dipped my toes into the coding side via game development. To hear about the importance of fundamentals is a reminder to me of how I succeeded in my first endeavor, and it’s a huge wake up call. I remember playing around with nmap not too long ago on my home internet just to see if anyone else was on it behind the scenes and literally understood the concept of it much better that way than I did when it showed up in the paid course I’ve been taking. Experience definitely is key.

[@gabrielfono844]

This video is really cool! I taught myself coding after finishing my civil engineering degree and have been working as a software engineer for 2.5 years. It hasn’t been easy-I’ve made a lot of sacrifices, read a ton, and spent my weekends on side projects. Recently, I interviewed and got an offer for a mid-level backend engineer position. I plan to work there for a year while I study penetration testing or ethical hacking to switch to cybersecurity. Thanks a lot! Could you also make a video about someone with coding experience moving into cybersecurity and what fields might be good for them? We’d really appreciate it! Thanks again!

[@KingParth90210]

Great journey man, I just have a question on what made you decide to transition over to Cybersecurity? Since you are already a mid level engineer aren’t the salaries and compensations usually the same especially if you make it to big tech and wouldn’t you just want to further your career and go up in ranks instead of completely switching to another domain you know i’m just curious but Good luck to you man

[@corpuzone]

Question - why get into development when you already had a chance to become a civil engineer and potentially reach success? That’s a stable career unlike technology. I’ve been part of the IT bubble and once it burst, I got laid off (2nd time) it hasn’t been smooth ever since. I’m no cyber or coder but more so on IT ‘support’ per se. Unless you just really don’t want to build roads, drains, bridges lol.. I happen to work years ago at an engineering firm and I have family who are civil engineers. Though that time many years ago I got laid off for first time, civil engineering has stayed strong nowadays especially as you progress towards more senior level responsibilities. I assume you just graduated possibly and was fascinated with coding/security on the side? That’s amazing you were able to land a coding job, but with your formal degree (not IT) having a minimum Bachelors degree and maybe some projects must’ve helped with landing a role.

[@V.WalkingTours]

Nice last year I started with the eJPT, I got ot, but after that I felt that I need to learn the fundamentals (what I am doing now) trying to get the ccna amd then continue with my path, I loke bug bounty and I started to explore too! Let see where I am in 5 years, but as I am moving to country, my goals for this year is to learn the fundamentals right, and learn the new language.

You make sense... far too much sense. I’ve barely scratched the surface, but I've drawn my map... my guide into the abyss. There's something wickedly thrilling about the unknown... the basics, yes, that's where I’ll begin. That’s my edge, my curse... mastering what others overlook. I’ll start with CompTIA IT Fundamentals, slowly, deliberately. Wish me luck, if you dare... though it’s not luck I’m chasing. The outcome stirs something dark inside me... it’s not for the money, no... but if the money comes, it’ll be blood-stained fortune. Share your wisdom, if you must... if it helps illuminate this shadowy path...

road map = suffer in shit I.T. job with shit pay first that’s the truth and they don’t tell you that. Then constantly learning and sacrifice life with knowledge and labs. You have to grind, it’s not that easy or else everyone would be doing cyber. On top of all that you have to have passion and not chasing it for money.

@@Realworlddummy very true. Sacrifice starting with IT first with a Low Pay while learning & getting better every day. It is worth it if you grind your way to success, with GOD`s Help we can pass the courses CompTia A+ then Security+ (just learn Network+ but no need to take the exam).

[@johncrocker2949]

I don't have a degree. Do you think a degree is necessary to be successful in cybersecurity? It seems like there's so many resources for teaching yourself that school is a waste of time. The only thing you get is that piece of paper.

[@manufaleschini]

What role are you looking for? I have a Software Engineer degree, but I'm not a fan of degrees and certificates. The short answer to your question is: No, you don't need a degree to be successful. Practice is way more important, in my opinion. Although, if you are looking for a position in a bigger company (where they have many applicants), HR will filter by degrees and certificates. If you don't have one, you are most likely out.
