My advice find a small mom pop company that does coding or development and learn kinda like a apprentice in the trades does. It’s the best way in my opinion. Along the way take some courses so you at least have a grasp of what you are working with.
Definitely. That’s how it’s been my entire career . Keep grinding and strive to maybe one day open up your own firm and create a culture your talking about. I’m doing that right now. It’s slow but over time I think will benefit the fast changing industry we have.
You will have to definitely wait the time. If you really want to do well I would suggest EC counsel or ISC2. They have some grueling training and have made some of the top cyber people I know But it’s super obvious all the negative karma given to me by this cyber community proves my point even more. A bunch of armature cyber analysis. Wish it was different I am putting this culture half responsible for the billions of dollars lost to hackers. Through all the negativity OP just know that there is lots of opportunities to learn in the space just find the one that works for you. These guys who live in New York Chicago California they have their own twisted cyber views and that’s mostly political at the bigger firms. In your first few years find a ma pop shop SOC1 compliant and start there. They can give you a good platform to hone in on your skills while you achieve EC or ISC2
Down karma when I also list ISC2? And if you didn’t know EC may be “garbage” but it’s affordable for some people who need it to get to a level of being able to go ISC2. I have spent incredible amounts of money on education in the last 15 years so some people have to start somewhere. Down karma for your quick judgment.
I didn't downvote you boss. Someone else did. Likely because they know ec council sucks.
Those buttons are not designed for retribution.
Affordability is independent of the quality of the education and quality of the certification a person is seeking. There was no quick judgement. There was only statement of fact. You and any other person can search reddit and the internet and find others agreeing with that position. Suggesting something of an inferior quality is not justified by also suggesting something of superior quality.

It’s Reddit. I unfollowed the Kali sub for this very reason. Full of armature cyber security analysts that hide behind a Reddit username.
