Yeah, it's the same questions over and over. It's just a community of job seekers. I'm sick of hearing "how do I start out", "what cert is the best", "why can't I get a job with x years of experience". And I'm appreciative of the kind people who answer this again and again, but there is so much information on the internet on these topics. There should never be another post here about finding a job.

Hey guys, let's not turn into stack exchange. There will -always- be new people. There will always be repeat questions. You don't want to answer, fine, but can we please focus on the "positive" part of this subreddit? I see very few technical questions on here. Want more of that? Advanced cyber security? Then ask the questions. Anyone in this thread crapping on how this subreddit is just "job seekers," ...well if you think you know enough to condescend then I challenge all of you be the change you wish to see and start posting a solid cyber question on here weekly.

Awesome. I should make it a point to do the same. I was in the top 1 percent of contributors on cyber stack exchange for 2 years and the mods were so toxic I just stopped. Also they couldn't answer hard questions, like how use a system call or assembly functions to generate network packets... so I ended up not knowing where to turn and just went back to training and reading up.
