    What are some expectations vs reality moments you had at work/school? 💻

      What about the workload and burnout of cyber security?

  • @JoshMadakor
    @JoshMadakor Před 2 lety +20

    My expectation vs reality is if you get in the wrong side of cybersecurity, it can be the lamest job one has ever had. (Looking at you compliance😡😂)

      LOL I feel you on that one

      I know this is 7 months later, but could you pleadr expand more on why didn't you like your role in compliance? Pros and cons?

      @@TheAndreisukaru2 Josh actually answered my question on this with an entire video (czcams.com/video/hPz34pKUAhk/video.html). In it, he says compliance is lame because A) Your job assessment is almost entirely dependent on others' work and B) The hours can be very unpredictable (i.e., something goes wrong on a weekend, holiday, etc.). I know this is a whole year later, but hopefully that helps somebody😅

    Whats the best way.... if you had the experience you know now based on the route you took to learn what you learned to get where you are today. Would have there been a different or faster way of learning and Mastering the craft..
