To be honest it can really be overwhelming and the burn out can be crazy

[@nocturnalwalker726]

This is why I believe starting in a helpdesk role that provides access to a wide range of systems and issues is essential.
It helps you become familiar with the various aspects he's discussing.
During my time as a helpdesk analyst, whether at levels 2 or 3, or as a helpdesk manager, I performed all the tasks he's mentioned. This experience prepared me for a role in cyber and now further.

I’m currently working towards my bachelor’s in cyber at WGU. My goal is to transfer roles within my job when I graduate.

[@Ralph.L]

hey, hows it going for you.

[@DigitalLiquid]

@@Ralph.L It's going well. I'm still in my first term. My goal is to get everything complete by my second term.

[@Yaxye.]

I'm about to break into security coming from help desk and based on what I'm being asked to do and the things I'm learning, this video is quite accurate. I obviously can say how accurate it is as I'm just starting.
I'll say this tho, physical exercise after a stressful day will really alleviate a great deal of stress. Even more so if it can be both social and physical, like BJJ.

[@damienjburks]

Man you hit the hammer on the nail with this video!!! 💯💯

[@feechiee1425]

[@pcaeiro_]

Thank you!

[@madics12]

Good video, thank you.

[@derrickpope6552]

Another good video 👍🏿yes the boring stuff 😆 meetings, logs,scans

[@SpadeVI]

Could you make a video about how different certifications you did hold up in your career now? Like how much knowledge from those certs are actually applicable to your day to day work

[@doorblwr]

Very insightful video! This is the role i’ll be working towards for the next few years. Which roles would you recommend and in order?

[@kiravd5392]

It would be great to know how you manage to study for more certifications or skillsets you need while working 8-5, whether it’s remote or not. Those be some great tips that I am sure would benefit many.

[@derrickpope6552]

@kiravd5392 it's about balancing your time and how bad you want to advance your career, I did my studying for certs while working an 8 hour job

[@rpstardustx8360]

hey, could you make a video on whether or not you need helpdesk to get into cybersecurity?

[@DayCyberwox]

Already did that. Here you go: czcams.com/users/liveVaU3cgoR1GA?si=9nUtk6sd-sQIJQGZ

[@FloridaInvestor]
