ENTRY LEVEL IS OUTSOURCED

Thanks for sharing! Do you know some of the most popular companies that higher entry level?

133k views for a guy with only 3k subscribers. That should tell you how saturated it is

Great Video! I am currently in a SecOps Internship looking to propel myself into the entry level cybersecurity field. I have been looking towards industry certs such as sec+ cissp etc.. A lot of what you said resonated with me and I appreciate the insight. Thanks.

The title says "No Experience". Experience is listed as No.2 GG.

Your sound was gone bro

Bro said, narrow it down and don’t be picky and broaden your options in the same five minutes…

I only did Cybersecurity challenge and like the GRC aspect, but no experience. Can I get a job at all?

Great video

i got into cyber security with no IT degree or any certs. just learning and networking. currently working in Detection

amazing video bro, just graduated with a cybersecurity degree this spring and im in a similar situation as you were when you graduated (no formal experience in tech field) . I got the google cyber security cert about a 2 months before i graduated and im now studying to take the security + in about a month. The job market is rough So far i've had about 2 interviews and im hoping I land the job so i can get some experience, even if it's just help desk for now. This video was the motivation i need to keep improving.

You have given me hope. Carry on inspiring. You going to make it BIG

what jobs would you apply for to get into cyber with a degree and no experience?

What if I'm at Honduras, and someone is hacking my computer, and network. Could you identify it's identity?

How can I apply to 1000 jobs if they are not posted. Most of the jobs ask for experiences, so do you mean to apply to them also??Because it's not possible to apply to 1000 entry level jobs which don't ask any experience.....Answer please

RN I'm just trying to finish my cyber security minor major at college because rn I'm trying to get more experience without a degree

how's working in a SOC? folks sociable in there ? : D

When you said college was an inch deep and a mile wide, i felt that. I just graduated and feel like i have a basic understanding of how things work. Now I'm looking for hands on experience and thinking about getting sec+. I feel cyber security is a great field but like you said, it can be discouraging.

Bro that shit @2:03 had me DYING because I have seen it SO MANY TIMES!

That ain't a way to ask for subscribing 😂

All these click baiters!! 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Can’t even find entry level IT job, can’t even get an interview even following these steps. Never mind getting one in cyber lmao. This field sucks

To be fair I don’t think the entry level is flooded just for cybersecurity, it’s flooded for any computer science related field in general

I have worked in cybersecurity for 22 years. It’s hard but not impossible to break into the field with no prior experience. My advice would be to learn at least one programming languange…2 or 3 even better. Knowing Python and/or Powershell will give you a leg up on the competition. You can learn both of those languages for free with all the resources available online. Show the employers that you’re motivated and learning on your own while you try to break into the field. I work in Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Privilege Access Management (PAM). There are tons of 6-figure jobs that are unfilled due to lack of qualified candidates. IAM/PAM has a technical aspect to it, but not as deeply technical as many of the other cybersecurity areas. Good luck!

Whats your starting salary as SOC analyst

Fake

I started as an IT Technician and then progressed to: - IT Service Desk - Application Analyst - Cybersecurity Engineer - Identity Access Management (IAM) Security Specialist All within 5 years. started working at 24 years old after graduating Higher School Diploma majoring in Information System Now, I am seeking international opportunities. My goal is to gain as much experience as possible. Job hopping can be daunting, but I enjoy exploring the various solution tools used by different companies as much as I can.

As a new grad who has also reached 1k+ applications, this job market is ridiculous and I legit don’t know what to do

This is so motivational. I’m currently an IT Tech II and been in IT just under a year. Been trying to get into a SOC 1 remote role. I know things are extremely competitive and in under one month so far I have applied for 150 different jobs with roles such as SOC, Security analyst, cybersecurity internship, etc. I’m almost done with my B.S in Cybersecurity and Information assurance with my Network+, Sec+, and SSCP. All no’s so far and everything you said is on point. Not giving up because it only takes one yes. Keep your heads up everyone and patience is a must.

Funny how everyone wants experienced candidates but entry level jobs are difficult to get. So where do they expect us to get the experience from?? Our toilets????

Agree with the application process. You have to apply to as many as possible. Oddly enough, I’m in the biggest city in my state, the city is 550k in population. And when I search online for tech jobs (not even getting specific) there’s only 130 listed😂 luckily I want to leave asap. Just need a job that to work that’ll have me earning enough to leave.

I couldn't agree more with this video!!! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this.

Lemme just share with everyone else here, so we can all laugh about it. Man is it freaking tiring, over and over on these applications having to say "Not Latino" "not Disabled" "Male" "Race" lol

do you have a degree ?

I have Security+ and Network+ certifications. Years of helpdesk experience. Been building my own PC's since I was knee high to a duck. I've applied at hundreds of jobs. Still can't get into the field. Sad life.

Great video. True points given. Be well rounded and interview well.

How can i get You GitHub please?

Clearance is crazy smh

As one of the grizzled vets (25+ years in IT/Infosec) you make a lot of valid points! I will say with the current lay of the land, you are definitely an outlier, not an everyday occurrence. The reason I say this is something you touched on briefly... layoffs... for every new/inexperienced person applying for that entry level role, there may be 100 or more guys with 5 or even 10+ years of real life in the trenches applying for the same role. A big thing I would add to your list of what you need is softskills. If you are still in college working on your degree, minor in ( or at least take some classes in) business. You have to be able to communicate technical issues in non-technical terms that senior leadership, the board and lob understands. Soft skills, knowing how to communicate effectively beyond the SOC/CISOs org is critical, especially if you start in a SOC/NOC and want to move up. One thing you didn't mention and often gets overlooked is how many different realms/roles fall under the infosec umbrella: SOC, IR, GRC, IAM, BC/DR, Threat Intel/Hunting, etc. If you are looking to break into the field, consider opportunities across all the different realms of InfoSec. I started out in the GRC space (Risk, 3rd Party Risk, Compliance, Audit Support, Bc/DR) and from there stepped into CTI to now being an IT Security Manager with accountability and responsibility for all of the above. If Threat Intel is your end goal, don't be afraid to pursue SOC or GRC roles to get your foot in the door, the more you learn, the more you know/can do, the more valuable you are to a company

Your Goated for doing this 💯

Haven’t even graduated highschool yet, and I’m 19 and not currently going. Honestly gonna try to join the military at this point. 🤷🏽‍♂️

With my age 53 its probably not possible. Just saying

I hear it so hard to get a job a entry level job with no experience and no degree. So I'm kinda confused here. I want to learn and get into it. But realistically is it possible. Yeah I guess mindset. That can be really true. Where do I start with learning without putting myself in debt. Just saying. Any suggestions..

Does being the "one exception" allow you to live in a studio apartment?

New subscriber here :) I’m currently a hairdresser looking to do a whole 360 in my career get into cyber tech applying to school currently I’m so happy to see your videos it’s a a lot of gibberish to me right now but you make everything more understandable can’t wait to see more videos :)

How long do you think it took you to do those 3 certs?

Great video, great insight.

Thanks I have 3 year of IT experience but It’s so hard to get into that SOC but I might have to open my scope to new places

easy job tbh, easy money
