[@zmoo3788]

Hey Josh! I wanted to say thank you for all your help. Almost 3 years in cyber now and it changed my life for the better. I watched all of your videos and had over 100 hours in the Cybersecurity subreddit in 2021 seeking advice and asking questions. Not only is cyber a great field, but it hss helped me excel financially for a better life. A lot of people tell me I just got lucky but people like you are the reason, there are truly not enough mentors in this field. It was a tough road but I kept at it. Keep up the content dude and make sure to take breaks!

Josh, I'm starting a full-time job soon. It's not an IT job but I'll at least be able to save up for your course. I can't wait! I am so ready to level up.

Hi Josh, I'll be enrolling in your course by the last week of this month since im waiting for something important. In the meantime, I'm doing free courses offered by Qualys - absorbing as much info as I can before I finally enrolled in your course. Hope things turn great to all of us!

Im taking this class next👍🏽

[@adriandelangel5162]

Hey Josh, I’m currently in WGU getting my BSIT and I’m also really wanting to start in IT, as I have no experience in the field. I’d like to work and get school done simultaneously, but it’s hard getting any job since I don’t have a degree yet. So my question is, would it be beneficial for me to take one of your courses to try to get a job, or should I just keep going with my degree and focus on it first? I have the means to juggle; just really wanting to get into the IT field. Thanks.

[@kendalljiles6906]

Best so far

Thx for watching!

Are SOC roles OE friendly?

[@TheWyNetwork]

You have to always look at it from the perspective that what’s for him was meant for him no matter how long or short…Some don’t have any certain, minimal IT experience and it only took a month for them to find a job…What’s for you is for you at the end of the day (meaning it was carved out with your name on it)

[@MNazir_11]

Hi Josh. Thanks for the amazing work that you are doing Pls advise I have ISC2 CC, Google Cybersecurity & Security+ alongside many other minor certs like Qyalys, Palo Alto, etc. I also have some 2+ years experience as an IT Analyst, so I know IT stuff, theory and practice. However, I don’t feel confident enough about my cybersecurity skills even though I have done some simulated trainings on vulnerability management, phishing attacks analysis, SQL, python, etc I can spend 500 more dollars on my career inside this year 2024, so I have in mind your course (1st option) and CISSP (2nd option). Which should I go for?

[@jamarengineers]

First off congrats, but Cmon now man. You know the answer.

[@somethingcreative783]

CISSP

[@MNazir_11]

@@jamarengineers thank you bro. But really I feel like I can do with the hands-on labs in the course but the name value that comes with CISSP too is hard to ignore.

[@MNazir_11]

@@somethingcreative783 thanks 😊

[@SavageFit]

Do you have the required 5 years of experience for the CISSP?

[@DerrickWeil]

I have a lot of IT experiences but wanting to move into Cloud Sec and AI the course should take me a whole year to do.

[@carmensigley3597]

What course are you doing?

[@joveke13]

Applying to that many jobs when they have mass openings. Shows a wide gap with employers and potential employees

[@agent7574]

Do you have a coupon code? When i went to the one time payment it says at the top coupon code 😁

[@JoshMadakor]

you can send me a dm in my socials :)

[@ltigre2031]

Hi Josh, can you do a video on which jobs are least like help desk? I would like to get a job with the least amount of tickets. I’m sick of these tickets! Is there a job in it that isn’t support based. ? I’m trying to get away from tickets! Ty and great video.

[@Entertainment82123]

He is so loveable!!!

[@mrfriendly9956]

Hey Josh, thanks for your amazing content. Could you pls direct me to a source or share a little more in regards to what the internship is about for your course? I am strongly considering buying your course but would love some further details.

[@jideveloper1164]

What prevents AI from analyzing all the daily reports? Just as AI can review code, report back flaws. Seems like this process will quickly be replaced by software. Thoughts?

[@4deepWeCreep]

Can I get into this with absolute NO TECH experience? I’m interested in cybersecurity

[@sup4739]

Hello, Thank you for your video. What do you think about Data Steward and/or Analyst ? I am studying as an industrial engineering master's degree student. I have a few good experiences in the fields metioned earlier. I would love to opinion on those :) Again, loved the video ! Thank you

[@djalalauxusa8607]

Good question

[@sylviaboateng1411]

Hello Josh, I’m interested in your cybersecurity course. I know you state onetime payment, but is there a chance you can do installment payments? Thanks

[@IsraelQuinonez-w6z]

Hey Josh, my retail job will cover WGU Cyber Masters up up to 9 units per year. I don't have previous IT experience (bachelors in related field), whats a better path? Start WGU right away so I can get them to cover 9 units this calendar year and 9 again starting 2025? (basically pay half the degree almost immediately) and maybe start looking for other IT jobs after they pay half? Or take one of your courses and straight into help desk/ junior system admin role and work the experience that way? Will the cyber teach entry level IT skills as well? Any advice here is appreciated since im uniquely set to not pay much for this masters but also have 0 IT experience. Thanks!

[@ultravioletiris6241]

That WGU Masters is not going to help you much without any IT experience at all. If your objective is getting a job. It REALLY wont help at all for getting ready for help desk. Firstly I recommend Josh’s IT course from Course Careers over anything Cybersecurity. If you haven’t ever been exposed to the subjects in Security+, Network+… you are going to find PenTest+ and CySA+ and CASP+ from the WGU Masters to be impossible to understand. It’ll be way harder and take way longer without really adding much to the skillset you need to secure an entry job. Do TryHackMe for a year. Do you even know what sub field of Cybersecurity you want to do?

[@shafialanower3820]

Do you have internships programs for the it support course careers also or it’s only for cybersecurity

[@syedmuddassir3764]

Hey Josh, are the remote jobs limited to countries they are hiring in or will it they hire any candidate world wide? I am from India and would want to know if any US companies will hire remote SOC analysts outside of US. Thanks

If you have to ask this here, you’re in for a very rude awakening indeed

[@syedmuddassir3764]

@@ultravioletiris6241 sorry that I didn't introduce myself first, I am already working in another field and I just joined a course for next gen soc analyst. That means I am still figuring out things in this job market and the more info I get the more I can enhance my learning pathway, so yeah I think I can ask questions on any platform until I know all the answers required while avoiding any rude awakening 🙂

I wish the course was affordable to other people from poor countries like Udemy. $500 course wow. Good content and channel.

[@adamasimolowo8285]

Remote work will be a thing of the past soon for most. Way too saturated, and unless you're working for a company with confidential US information they'll offshore it when times get extremely rough. We are heading into a recession soon. Best of luck to those that continue on the remote path though.

[@navis462]

Keep your head up. I’ve been hearing about a recession coming soon for the past 3 years. Remote work for IT and cyber remain strong and relevant in the area I’m in. Might as well continue to live your life do the best you can, and let what may come.
