You should do more episode like this bringing more women from tech into the show. It is such a motivation to watch.
Lots of love
Your questions are spot on! Love this!❤
What a awesome interview. Thanks for sharing ❤
Your visual effects are so, like amaaazing LOL. I will try this at the next party
Would have liked to hear more on Emily’s experience with her role in Accenture and why she left to industry. Also some advice on service firms vs industry, and why she left to industry? Also comparisons with her day to day role in service vs the big five. Including hours, comp comparisons, and management environment. Enjoyed the story about the internet of things security example with the children’s toy. Love that women in tech is such a strong image future and Emily’s is a great ambassador! Very different than from 15 years ago, but definitely heading in the right direction.
The Cybersecurity interview was interesting. The tips seemed recommendable to me to take precautions in computing.😊✌
Thanks for sharing! Also, happy Friday!!
Was waiting for your video ❤️♥️finally got it God bless you more 🙏
yay! so happy to hear. I hope you enjoy it!
Absolute best way to learn useful programming is to pick up someone else's code to fix something -- the dreaded maintenance programming job. NOTHING teaches you faster and more effectively. Seek it out. Don't shun it. Speaking from 40-plus years' experience in programming.
Thanks for sharing!
I have 0 experience in IT. I don't quite understand what you meant with your comment? Is there jobs for this? Sorry I just really want to learn.
@@chapoaveli714 many folks starting out shun the idea of being assigned to fix bugs in production software, preferring to seek out new development project work. I spent years maintaining others’ work, and learned much of what I brought to the table when I did work on new development projects.
I've never done that. I'm 42 years since software #1. I only use it to give my businesses the edge. When I created my first AI in 91, it was too powerful for the primitive world we live in. Now the dark ages are fully embedded in the minds and philosophy of the majority, so I keep all information out of the public spaces.
@@chapoaveli714 is Kind
i’m in my cybersecurity degree program right now, love the content tiff
Which degree programme are you doing
Like those kind of vids. 🙌
Probably a dumb question but I believe having a mentor is so important for someone who is trying to grow in a career. How would recommend a person find a mentor in cyber security if you don't know anyone in the business'?
That's my next step in terms of my career, which is to get into a cybersecurity related job. Since most of the job at the moment is data and data integration, I think data management and data security will be the next big thing...
Yes it definitely is a big thing!
Am interested in learning more about it
I love how you impress upon the fact of women in tech! I myself am a woman in tech for over 20 years having held diversified tech career background. It's all about the journey!
I really wanted to hear more about the path that leads to security engineering, I am very interested in this.
Is it just me
I didnt learn a thing
Love the security stuff!
That is great to hear!! Hope you enjoyed this talk 💓
Loved this video 🙌🏾…. Is there any advice you can give to someone that is in nursing trying to switch to cybersecurity role ? What are some good Ideal role that I could use my transferable skills in ? Thank You 😊
YeH
Be both😜
Omg the stem diary girl!!!!!
Yes! Emily 💓
hey BeautyCodeQueen, where is the newsletter link? or i am dumb didn't find it ???
I dont know how people remember all the programming techniques and ideas i try to learn things and it goes in one ear and out the other, i dont know what to do about it it sucks.
Ever since the first lockdown, I wanted to pursue cybersecurity. Then, the soft story earthquake repairs was under construction for almost a year. I even had upstairs neighbors placing wooden floors with NO PADDING. I went through a nervous breakdown when everything was taken from me once I started to pursue this career. I tried to find a community or club, but I don't live anywhere near that's safe to walk. Now, I have a 3-year gap with no degree, no certs, no work experience. Should I quit this career? Is it too late for me? Since it takes years to get into this field, is it too late for me in my 30s? I don't have any networking for this field. I don't know what to put on my portfolio. No one is going to believe or even care that I got held back and went to mental breakdown due to microaggression in my classes and petty neighbors and manager illegal installing wooden floors and random repairs. In honesty, it really bothers me to see other people pursuing their careers while I'm stuck here in the ghetto. It must be nice when other people have a place to study with no random, loud, and petty interruptions.
I left a long comment twice with advise - CZcams deletes it I dk y… anyway I got into cyb sec wit an associates in cyb sec and another in cis at 31 I’m 39 thriving - I had more advice but I guess words I used YT didn’t like
Hello! Thx for the video!
How hard is it to get remote cyber sec US jobs living in other countries?
@@user-rs3pl6uh2r Thx! But how come?
I am a beginner with 0 experience in IT and i am planning to learn full stack
which is the best platform to start and land a job in IT ??
Still searching? I would say Code Wars to learn basic and advanced algorithms. Udemy and Cousera have great lectures for beginners and other levels. Free coding camp has great free courses. But you can still go for coding camps that are 3-6 month. But they cost 3-10k depending on your location.
Is this a podcast tooo
If yes, what's the name?
Thank you for this video. I really wish to work in cybersecurity for European Union! =)
Electrical engineering: one of the hardest engineering fields… probably it is more difficolt from cyber security expert become am electrical engineer..
You both look very cute 😍🥰😍
9:00 Communication skills must match the audience otherwise condescension or using terminology that are way beyond their heads can result in the audience thinking that you're crazy. A possible strategy is to get to know them to be able to gauge their level of abstraction that they require from you. Technical lingo often makes a non-technical audience feel like you are some kind of idiotic misfit who can't communicate properly with them. Often they do NOT want any level of detail. If your narrative describes a problem-solving method that they don't like, then they are apt to call in someone else to do the job. I hope that it does not become a beauty or popularity contest where anyone ends up a loser. Some people can work cooperatively by being on the same wavelength by having sufficient matching knowledge and experience, but if there is a mismatch the stupid foolish person can complain that you are going off on unimportant tangents that they do not consider important to the tasks--what an incompetent fool would tend to believe.
she is probably a security analyst. She is still learning. she is no engineer. that is just title.
She has a degree in electrical engineering.
I had to change my passwords today after getting notification from ID notify.
#Timely
Great timing! Hope you have a great upcoming weekend btw!
@@TiffInTech hi
@@TiffInTech likewise. I like how Emily said you don’t need technical degree for cybersecurity. I was hoping she would mention certificates or classes though. Even if people heard of it, hearing it from her would be more more convincing. E.g., IBM, CompTIA, etc.
When women focus too much on their gender and not career accomplishments, it lowers their value. Same thing goes for people who highlight their race. "First latino in blabla", "women in tech" Who cares buddy, do your job and impress me.
its cause its more impressive
she is beautiful :)
