Hi UnixGuy, thank you so much for all your videos. Your videos give me a lot of confidence to continue pursuing my education and career in cybersecurity. When watching these types of videos, I get even more convinced that this is what I want to do. Thank you for spreading the knowledge, being a big bro mentor. God bless you man!

Hi brother, Great engaging video. Really living the life I want to live. I am just heading off to uni as a first year student this year to study cybersecurity. However, not sure what exactly I need to do outside uni to be a cyberseccurity consultant. Could you please make a detailed video about what skills I need, what certifications I should take, what programs or opportunities are out there that will give me experience whilst also help my professional growth, what specific programs or languages I should master. I am really looking forward to it and thanks a lot for your time. Your channel definitely deserves heaps more subs:) dw i will tell my friends!

[@UnixGuy]

hey mate, thanks for your kind words! As a student, do everything you can to gain skills (through uni courses but also through free resources online). To be a good consultant you need to be VERY good at what you do, which comes from study/practice etc The second most important thing is to try and get an internship in a consulting firm, reach out to them and find ‘vacationer’ or ‘grad’ programs. it depends on where you live but either way, build solid skills and you will have an easier time finding a job

thanks bro

[@Cyber2a]

Thanks for your channel, it's been very helpful! Would you please make a video or reply to let us know if PCI DSS is a worthwhile specialization to work towards? I've seen some of their certs cost in the $1000's to obtain so it would be a longer term goal but just wondering from your perspective if it's worthwhile or in demand? Thanks ❤

[@UnixGuy]

Hey Jamie, Glad you’re enjoying the videos! PCI-DSS is not a specialsiation on it’s own, it’s a compliance framework, and yes you can get trained on it and certified but think of it as part of working in cyber audit / GRC which I talked about in length here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWqvdYqCm6uCppo

[@Cyber2a]

@@UnixGuy Okay, thanks. I'll check out that video. ❤

[@AFlyingMayMay]

The best bet in terms of paying for that certification is to take on a role that requires PCI-DSS compliance and getting your employer to pay for it. Helps if you’re an auditor with CISA

[@NetSeChef]

I will graduate with a bachelor’s in computer science soon. God willing of course, but this this field can be depressing sometimes

So uni is teaching my project management PM. I got curious, so I decided expand my knowledge and learn about business analysis BA. Seems like the stakeholder management and gathering requirements skills in both PM and BA would come in handy in your line of work as a consultant. You say precise advice. So there is no room for an agile approach just in case you need to adapt for the unforeseen?

[@UnixGuy]

yes absolutely, although I learned all that on the job rather than uni / books but it helps

that depends on the company. it’s not always low. But ‘entry level’ means someone with little to no experience, so it’s a good idea to accept the ‘low’ pay to build experience - money comes later once you have more experience.
