How to Make 6 Figures Tax Free in Tech in 2024 (Overseas Government Contractor)

[@luxst]

I passed my security + 701 yesterday, I appreciate the inspiration!

[@cyberteknomad]

@luxst Congrats on passing Sec+ 701; may I ask what material did you sturdy to help you prepare for it? Any advice will be much appreciate. thanks

To everyone… if you go to a war zone, like Iraq & Afghanistan, the living conditions could be a little rough. And we worked 12 a day 7 days a week. Qatar was 10 hours a day 6 days a week, but the living conditions were awesome! 5 bedroom villa with a California king bed. Iraq and Afghanistan was bunk beds and cots.

[@drakewilliams10dw]

Can you provide me with which companies to apply with? Former military and looking to land a contractor job.

[@truthtelleranon]

Thanks for the intel

[@morecents7680]

I knew I fucked with you heavy when I discovered your page last December... studying for the new Sec+ exam as we speak and I recently did the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certification over the last month... decided to take a sneak peek at your bookshelf and 'Creature from Jekyll Island' and 'The Fourth Industrial Revolution' tells me all I need to know about you. You see the bigger picture and I respect you for sharing this information in these times to people of your likeness... not that it should be limited to them, but I can appreciate you doing your best to get the message out there that no matter how one looks or what one's background is... that there are avenues available for us. We'll need it more and more in these times... glad I'm getting started top of 2024, can't wait to start applying for jobs!

[@symonebeez]

Let's go! Goodluck on your Security+ lol honestly I've given up on talking about alot of topics that I believe in but yes we need this information to win in this next industrial revolution.

[@morecents7680]

I feel you, so have I, but it's okay... those who are meant to understand, will understand... that's why I'm here and I'm sure there's others of like-minds... I'm starting to realize that the only people who deserve help are those who are already doing everything they can to help themselves... salute to you and thank you!!@@symonebeez

[@silverb_ceo]

I absolutely love these videos. I left the military in January 2019 my Clarence expired, as a tech lover, I’m studying for my cyber security plus as we speak. I ran a trucking company n consulting company but slowed n had to stop temporarily. Your guides are ridiculously helpful and I’m following your 10week study guide as we speak. See you on the inside. These video keep me going when it gets tough. Keep being you!!

[@dantheradlad5802]

Finding your channel has been a blessing. I’ve spent the past 8 years working as an EMT. I got into government contract work on the EMS side for disaster response which pays very well, but you work 7 days a week for months on end with no time off and you can’t bring your family. I’ve been looking into getting into tech and I started with web development, but over time I feel like I might be more aligned with cybersecurity. Thanks for the great content.

[@symonebeez]

Goodluck on your career transition Dan!

[@Syd-going-Cyber]

I have to do this now ! I was worried about it because I have a family, but this just makes so much sense ! Live a great life for free, stack 6 figures, get out of debt & invest 😫

[@symonebeez]

You got this!

[@gemjones]

Thanks Beez! You mentioned your contract in South Korea was 6 months with the pay being 210k / year. Did the company pay the total 210k within 6 months or more so an equivalent of what 210k would be over a year? My second question is about working "remotely" while overseas. Were you allowed to work from home (your apartment) some days? These questions are open to anyone's feedback. I am very interested in working overseas as a GC.

[@loankabby3548]

I was never military and from the US. Got a masters (humanities subject), teaching in other countries, recently earned a CompTIA Security+, been applying for IT jobs with govt for overseas for months on clearance jobs, contractor sites directly and still got nothing so far. Unfortunately it looks like a lot of people are lying on the internet either to sell a course or get paid on youtube.

[@truthhurts7045]

Great Video, my hardest thing is passing the Security+. It is so much to learn and I keep doubting myself. I dont know if anyone knows of any study groups. I would love to join

[@mskeke6337]

Hey, where are you located?

[@gaylanwright2317]

There’s classes at community colleges that teach the Sec+

[@SpyJamz]

I recommend if you're having trouble with Sec+, start with the fundamentals. Use Professor Messor's A+ and Network+ to build Sec+. Sec+ assumes you either have Cybersecurity experience already or have done A+ and Network+. You don't have to take the exam for A+ and Network+ but if you watch those videos on Professor Messor's KZbin channel and learn them, Sec+ will come easier to you. Best of luck!

[@TiffiniTravels]

I did Intellectual Points Bootcamp, through a program called Vet Tec, you don’t hav3 to be a veteran, but I passed my Security+ certification in 4 weeks on my first try.

[@symonebeez]

I worked for Raytheon the entire time for all of my roles.

[@olajokesjourney]

Thanks for sharing Beez!. What are mostly the contract terms ?

[@mamag1rl]

I signed a contract for 12 months. I didn't have to sign an additional contract once I completed the 12 months. You can negotiate your salary during your yearly performance review. Hope I answered your question.

[@symonebeez]

Typically 12 months to start with an option to extend.

[@theodorewallace263]

Definitely drops some gems tonight on the zoom, thank you!

[@amar129w2]

Is the Sec+ area of tech much different for landing contracts than software development? the market hasn't been great in sdev in general (even GovTech). And would you still recommend to single women/any safety concerns?

[@joshuabarrett7486]

This is great exposure and eye opening content! I'm thrilled on all the possibilities possible with such an underrated career choice as such!

[@lpaco3x600]

Im ready to go back overseas now. If the military wouldn't have sent me back stateside, I would've done 20. Was supposed to go to Doha 2 years ago for Security but now I'm in Tech.

[@TheDapaah]

I have about 6+ years in Sys Admin, active TS/SCI, active Sec+ and Cysa. Currently a federal contractor, how do I land a job overseas ?

[@FredTechSc]

You should be Gucci my guy!

[@TheOfficial_CommanderShepherd]

Apply for them via USA jobs

[@mamag1rl]

U are considered the Golden Child with those qualifications. Good luck‼️

[@symonebeez]

Start applying directly on the government contractor websites. Vectrus, Jacobs, Leidos, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman , Lockheed, Mantech, SAIC, CACI, etc. Also go on clearancejobs

[@redpillcinema6560]

Do you have to be good at mathematics & tech savvy to do this job ???? I’m brand new to this and don’t know anything about tech but I’m willing to learn.

[@officialconch]

Weird question but how were you able maintain loccs overseas? Was it easy to find people to do retwists?

[@symonebeez]

Good question where ever there is a military base just assume there is a wife that does hair lol I never had an issue in any country. Join the facebook group and ask around.

I love your content but it is rough trying to get overseas. I’ve been trying to apply to jobs in Japan as I’ve lived there for 6 years and I want to move back. I’m a 20 year vet, I have my SEC+, and two years of helpdesk but I keep getting rejected. My resume has been looked at and doctored up by a person whose side job was to make résumé’s great as their full-time job was helping people get hired in IT roles. I’m also college educated, any tips?

[@symonebeez]

Japan is a hard country to land a contract in, there aren't that many roles. I would say to try to redo your resume using chatgpt and tailor it to the job descriptions you are applying to. Also I'd expand your search outside of japan. I applied to every technical role I saw overseas and it was between Japan or Isreal for me.

[@magno172]

Great video. Props to whomever can gain knowledge. I only managed to complete 2 years enlisted and my first federal contract in the states got terminated due to my incompetence. Government work isn't for me.

Is there a school or course someone recommends i take to help me get into Cybersecurity? I know the most important thing is passing the Sec+ exam, but how do i get prepared with no prior knowledge? My objective was to take a certificate course at a college, 6 months to 1 year, then find online practice exams and training to prepare for the test.. but idk if thats the best way to go about it? Im quick to learn i just need to get going ASAP, tired of wasting time analysis paralysis lol

[@Guadalou2]

Love your content and all the info you share, but isn’t it misleading to leave out the part about obtaining clearance. It seems like all the success stories are all incredible ex-military individuals. I have Sec+ but no experience . Will gaining 6 months of work really land me a gov contract job overseas?

[@thebarbieinvestor5428]

You need to figure out how to get a clearance. She literally said companies have to sponsor you. I’m in tech and I’m telling you. Figure it out🤷🏾‍♀️ No hand holding on this part. You gotta put your head down and find a company to sponsor it. You will have to put in work! But it’s worth it. The security plus and clearance are good moneymakers.

[@symonebeez]

I don't even have a military background myself. I'm guessing you all aren't watching my interviews? David had 0 military background and 0 tech experience made it overseas within 24 months making 269k/yr.

[@symonebeez]

You don't need a clearance to get overseas the company I talk about in the video sponsors clearances. I don't even have a military background.

Two completely different tests. Google the topics

A plus is basic IT knowledge, security plus is all security centered. But security plus is what the government wants, A plus is just knowledge you should study but the cert won’t help much. Check out the CompTIA subreddit. It has a lot of good info
