[@repairstudio4940]

Network Engineer 👎🏻 ....there needs to be a G category or something further down the ladder than F. That's like 3-4 jobs in and of itself, clients, software, hardware, deployment, network standards and laws...ewww. Nah.

[@nicoleenesse]

ahahahhahahaha

[@DonGivani]

Thanks , you saved me a lot of time

[@ruslanbedoev9264]

Thank you for sum up!

[@repairstudio4940]

@@ruslanbedoev9264 indeed very helpful however it'd be best to watch the entire video and listen to what she has to say as depending on your particular goal the list may not fit your career path.

[@heavydieselengine8989]

Every soc analyst position I’ve looked up says you need 3 to 5 years experience

[@Endoptic]

So do most help desks I see here...

[@rmo9808]

If you don't have experience take any reputable job that'll pay you in IT. If they are willing to make you a manager day one, take it. It'll be weeks if not months before they figure out you have no business being there and by then hopefully you will have learned something.

How could a beginner even land these type of jobs ? Lol

[@keitwilliamsmusic]

To add, network engineers can also transition into cloud network engineer roles as well. It's challenging work but a good spot to be in.

[@nph84]

This video really helps bring some clarification to the tech industry. Much needed, thanks for uploading.

[@nicoleenesse]

Glad to hear that!

[@CT-yc4gd]

I feel like the majority of these aren't even applicable because if there an opening for a Security IT manager or something and I try to apply to with zero formal experience (plenty of experience configuring clients networks for safety and all that on my own time) you won't even make it past the ATS.

[@repairstudio4940]

3:30 in and I'm like this should have just been called the F teir list 😂 I will say she's not wrong. This is very accurate. Especially help desk as the first and best entry, most everyone start there. ❤

[@nicoleenesse]

lolol

[@millsfarm7264]

Hello, I watch all your videos and enjoy them. Can you make a video about how to become a system administrator. Sounds interesting.

[@nicoleenesse]

Yeah, great suggestion.

[@Djswagg0]

Do you think I could get an IT help desk job with no certs? Or would I be better off getting a couple of the start off certs before applying?

[@nicoleenesse]

Yes, 100%

[@TheGunnyBadger03xx]

In short, "S" is for start here, "F" is for finish here.

[@ultravioletiris6241]

Great video, Nicole! Very fair list

[@nicoleenesse]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Mbro-dq2do]

Pound for Pound. Whats safer or more secure all around.... Mac or Windows?? I know the answer. just curious what yours is

[@derrickagyei5348]

What about Nist framework

[@user-rp4om8cr3n]

Now that you’ve made the worst tech careers for beginners list, can you make a best tech careers for beginners list too? I am new to tech and would like to know what which positions to apply for when I am done with my security+ certificate exam and/or Aws solutions certificate.

[@nicoleenesse]

S Tier is the best...

[@andrewp3358]

Did you even watch the video?

[@domjweb]

@@andrewp3358 my guess is a hard no 😂

[@Professor5180]

Any good jobs for red hat certification?

[@st3v3stackz]

system administrator

[@FireEggplant]

Hey Nicole, my situation is I'm able to dedicate as much time to a path as needed. I don't have too much IT experience for my resume but I'm thinking of doing the Google Cyber Security Certificate to get started, then go to WGU for my bachelors in Cyber Security, I have a bachelors in Business Management. I was wondering if you still recommend the Help Desk start even after completing the Google Program and WGU due to the lack of actual experience? Or will most companies hire entry lvl Cyber without too much experience? Thank you so much for everything you do

[@JDMorris81]

No QA?

[@valstersrelax3343]

Could you make one focusing on cybersecurity jobs? Great video btw.😊

[@nicoleenesse]

Yes, that is next week

[@ajramirez77]

Lol I landed in C tier. I work as a sys admin but also as help desk support

[@discipline_humble_lucky]

I am in the S tier, it help desk, but I wish i started as a sys admin. Maybe that will be my next role, among cloud support and network engineer

[@Cyber2a]

Are there entry level grc analyst roles

[@colbygalberth3562]

where would you rank QA analyst

[@nicoleenesse]

S/A tier

[@earlem9771]

@@nicoleenesseI’m not understanding the tier system thing

[@Dee-zy2xv]

Think of the tier system as 5-S 4-A 3-B 2-C 1-D 0-F.. with 5 as HIGHEST RANK ..Then as you go down the Rank goes down😊​@@earlem9771

[@PoweredByA.I]

Thanks to KZbin, everyone want to become Cyber Security Analyst. I think Cloud career path is the best option ?

[@Wolfside100]

Hey! What are thoughts on Automation QA Tester position? Struggling between that and Data Analyst

[@nicoleenesse]

Oh I forgot to add that one. a/S Tier

[@Wolfside100]

@@nicoleenesse Thanks for the answer. Now I have 2 S-tiers to choose from😄

[@mugstep]

In the beginning I thought they were all gonna be F, the part of me that's been doing this for 20 years was like "yeah that makes sense." lol Overall, I agree, with the caveat that a good attitude can work well in your favor in those low-ranked positions. As you can tell I've soured a bit. lol

[@kawaiihikari0]

Great video 👏 💯

[@nicoleenesse]

Glad you enjoyed

[@kevinvoiceactor9694]

I landed in C tier. Heck yeah

[@massfrat5501]

Love the ranking. Where would you rank Cloud Admin and Cloud Security Analyst?

[@sam_47_ad86]

Hey Nicole thanks for sharing your content related to IT career list it's a very helpful to deciding to move to the IT jobs, I would like to know, is there a diffrence between IT Support and IT help Desk roles casue I mess up in one of my screening Interview that is for IT Help Desk, in which I feels that IT Support is much higher tier or diffrent than the IT Help desk and maybe I am not a good fit and feel bit nervous, I recently completed my Securtiy+(also applied fror SOC Analyst roles as well) and coming from Computer Science background, I think that I am all over the place applying to many diffrent IT jobs lol any suggestions which IT or Cybersecurity should I be more focused on.

[@nicoleenesse]

not really, but depends on company

[@DonGivani]

These lists are far depending on region. In. Europe you might have specific traineeships or dual learning at the company or an IT company

[@da_duke]

Tech Sales -> It's more difficult than you think :) First, you must be good at sales and know how to solve business problems with different tech (at least on a high level).

[@rikachiu]

Watching this as an IT manager :)

[@SavageScientist]

Thanks @oscarderby, how you put the words to the pictures on the list

[@zach.intech]

UI & UX is definitely entry level

[@heavydieselengine8989]

No one will hire me with a degree in IT for anything. Help desk is about it for $15 per hour

[@archeanchaos-s4c]

Everyone starts somewhere, you can make more doing something else, but you have to think about the long game. You take this, you get experience, and you continue to make yourself more marketable. Never stop looking for that next opportunity and in 1-2 years you will be making at least 50% more. When I started in IT, granted I already had alot of work experience, I moved jobs every year for the first three years for increased pay and more experience till I found my current position. Good luck.

[@heavydieselengine8989]

@@archeanchaos-s4cthanks, the issue I have is I am 40 and make way more than that and can’t afford to take the pay cut. Every entry level position I see requires 2-5 years of experience. 😢

[@archeanchaos-s4c]

@@heavydieselengine8989 I was 45 when I transitioned to cybersecurity, no IT experience, but a security analyst background. I got lucky because I found a cyber apprenticeship, but that required a big paycut for me. If it is entry level I would still apply. In four years I have gone from apprentice to senior analyst and make more then before. It is doable.

[@TheLORDNIGHTSHIELD]

GRC only works, if Management Understand what it is about. If management does not care about budget and organization, and only cares about paychecks, then GRC is not going to work. Culture - number one thing is Organization. Culture sets your view, your Tolerance/Capacity to Risk, and that sets Base for Proper Governance and Compliance. Your Technical controls has ZERO value if you are over-spending, because you trying to protect assets, but you are wasting your money (capital), which is also an asset. And I am not even talking about penalties one may face. One may start directly from cyber-sec if had Degree and Education. For example from SOC or Junior security engineer. Doing PoC, Managing Firewalls, SIEM etc.

[@davidli3582]

IT auditor might be a good switch from a former CPA auditor like myself! Haha, that might be the way to go for me after a few years of experience.

[@alan.bossua2170]

Regarding SOC analyst, why did you mention that "If you are lucky, you may be doing some threat hunting." Treat hunting is something more advanced? In your opinion, Cloud security or threat hunting? Please could you answer both of my questions. Thank you in advance 😊

[@nicoleenesse]

Cloud Security & threat hunting are more advanced

[@alan.bossua2170]

@@nicoleenesse I've recently joined the Cloud security team, and I still have the opportunity to join the Threat-hunting team. What would you do if you were in my place? Will you join threat hunting or stay in the cloud team?
