Josh thank you for the awesome video! I started my first IT job this year after three years working as a math teacher and it’s been such an amazing transition. Your videos helped so much especially in the job application process, you speaking about doing home labs and how to make yourself stand out helped land me in the role I’m in. I think the podcast tip is super impactful, it made for conversation when speaking with employers very helpful since it showed I was staying up to date with current trends. Can’t thank you enough for all the content and am definitely gonna look into going down the Google Security route soon. Oh and CYBER10 !

CYBER10 I like your channel I've always worked in IT, but always for and employer. One thing that has always been a burden is not being able or allowed to help people on the side, even for free. I've missed out on a lot of chances to learn in the moment and to get to aspect of interacting with other people when solving problems. This year I've decided to start working for myself and want to get to know people in IT and not just the problem solving from a technical perspective, but also the how did you get here and how can we prevent this from happening again. I've recently been talking to small business owners and there is still a lot they don't know about IT.

Tried applying for SOC, infosec, netsec, pentesting entry level. Im going to cloud DevOps., and hack on the side. Im totally done with the BS.

Hey Josh, It's great to see you back with new videos! I had my A+ certification beforehand and subsequently purchased your career course. Even though I landed a help desk job before taking the final exam (thanks in part to the course), everything you mentioned came to pass. In my interview, I discussed the labs we covered, and I even managed to negotiate my salary! I'm contemplating diving into your cybersecurity course, but I'm considering first obtaining the CompTIA trifecta to ensure it's the path I want to take. This brings me to my question: Have you ever thought about offering certification courses, like Security+ or AZ-104, AZ-500? Sort of like Mosh does with his courses or Zero to Mastery.

I should be done with these by the end of this summer and by July 2025 is when I plan on getting a job in the Los Angeles area. I’ll probably take more courses in order to overall prepare myself more. From what I have been seeing in the LA area are entry level cyber security analyst roles no less than a $90k starting salary really. Having a secret or Top Secret clearance can also help you land a 6 figure starting salary from what it looks like on LinkedIn. Just got to work for a national defense oriented company. I like the course I’ve been learning a lot and a cyber security analyst role is very similar to my current job just security in the cyber realm and not in physical world.

The more I research the more it seems like the big Tech Companies have a severe labor shortage, but continue to make it difficult for themselves to hire employees. A college degree is slow and out dated. At 40 years old I assure you by and large the programs used now will not be the programs in 5-10 years. They want employees to fit a social structure they do not train and is more or less a random coincidence if they find their "like culture" applying. The training courses to obtain the skills they desire are scattered and not specifically designed with a clear order to take them, specific certifications to obtain, and a clearly defined goal. It's all, like most civilian life, chaos simulating order while maintaining chaos in the larger scope of project. Too many choices can lead to a blurred vision when choosing, and allows the opportunity to choose a path that did not yield the specific skills they wanted to find employees having for a specific position they wish to fill. That is my observation of this situation as I continue watching these vids for research and viewing professional courses online.

I'm actually taking this now so I was surprised it was mentioned in this video. The course is split into like 8 sub courses and each one of them gives you a certificate (which makes your LinkedIn or resume look more appealing). Definitely worth trying. I'm gonna try and take the CompTIA Secuity+ right after I finish this course, hoping but not very optimistic on passing as of right now. We'll see though.

Josh, thank you for doing the Lord's work here. I'm currently taking this very exact course as we speak. I dedicate a few hours a day as you mentioned and go ham into learning as much as I can. I surely don't have a lot of time to waste here. Keep up the great work Josh.

Good luck with the Sec+! I have a free Sec+ Anki deck with over 1k practice questions in it. You just need to install Anki, which is free: CISSP: joshmadakor.tech/cissp Security+: joshmadakor.tech/security-plus

Josh, thank you so much for your advice. I am planning to start the Goggle Cybersecurity Certificate program to help me prepare for the Sec+. I needed guidance on what can I add on me resume to fill in the gap on the skills, certs and experience, you answered those questions for me in the most simplest manner. Thank you !

Odd that this come up on my feed. Never watched one of your videos before but just completed the course and received the certificate. I am going for the Comptia trifecta and figured the Google cyber cert would be a good fountain which seems like it is. I will work on implementing your tactics to leave public service work and get a foothold in IT. Thanks for the info.

CYBER10 I want to thank you for giving such a solid breakdown of the course, and what roadmap to follow to give applicants their best chance at maximizing their potential to break into their field with just the Google Cert. I'd say you went out of your way not to push your course and were good enough to give a peak on how one could go about emulating the relevant portions without having to buy it, which is a fresh of breath air when it comes to the IT/Coding space on YT where the majority of creators basically turn the video into a glorified commercial with a thin veneer of actual info about the topic. Regardless, after having a look at the course description, once I have the money to join I absolutely will because I very much doubt that I'll be able to find the time to finish the cert without having to pay that $50 a month to Coursera and I think that money would be much better spent enrolling in your course. Thanks again for this video and, in the meantime, I've put the alert notification on and spend the next few weeks going back over your older videos.

Hey Josh, the information you shared is very fruitful, but unfortunately in my current location: Lebanon, I'm not able to find any cybersecurity analyst internship or full time role, so I used all the Keywords I know, optimized my LinkedIn profile, nothing has worked so far. I'm seeking international relocation visa sponsored jobs/internships in the U.S., I guess this is impossible. I'm not legally authorized to work in the U.S./E.U., neither in the E.U., nor I hold American/Canadian/E.U. passport. Although I'm currently pursuing my BSc. CS, and graduate next year, I'm currently pursuing the Google Cybersecurity program, but all they ask for is experience. I check a role at Deloitte internship in Luxembourg, the HRs refuse to give a chance to candidates located outside the job location.
