@9:43 that's such an important message. I felt the same way about my studies and then failing to get a job in media or culture. I turned to IT out of desperation and a desire to have a job where I could learn without micromanaging. Now I work in cybersecurity and have a great team but indeed, having a clear balance and a clear vision of what really matters at the end of the day can spare us a lot of pain and agony in relation to our jobs & happiness
glad to hear it all worked out!! well done!
@10:08 I'm also thinking like this now. Not worth the debt I got myself in 🫨 I changed studies 4 times in uni to only end up doing something completely different for work 😅
One thing I'm grateful for is the time I got to work on reading and writing, working on my critical analyzing skills and the 2 close friends for life I made during uni. For me this point is both & and. Both useful AND a waste of time and money 😂
Concision, pace Yourself. Be smart obout Your surroudings. Don't be an introvert in life. take care of Your family and Your phisical and mental health (work ballance)
You are killing it! Your videos always hit on the very thing that goes on in my head lol. The important part of this message was the health and family part. You are truly a blessing, Thank you very much!

Thanks bro, smashing out my cert IV cybersecurity, currently learning Wireshark, SQL, metasploit, splunk and nmap , on virtual machines running Ubuntu, Linux, windows and metasploit
Nice work! good luck!
Thank you for your consistent uploads! Your perspective has been incredibly valuable, and your life lessons are truly inspiring. I embarked on my career change journey just two weeks ago, and it’s all thanks to the inspiration I found in your content. I’m currently enjoying learning the foundations of my new path, and while I’m uncertain about the future, I’m committed to living by your ethos. Your contributions to those of us with a passion for tech are greatly appreciated 🤓
so glad to hear that! I think you will do great things!
I've listened, and learned a whole world of information that I didn't know existed. Thank you for sharing, and making cyber security approachable for someone like myself
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for always providing practical wisdom and tips. A fan from Philippines trying to enter cyber security career.
thanks mate and nice to meet you! hopefully one day I’d love to visit the Philippines
I appreciate you and what you do. For those of us in school pursuing cyber, there is definitely a shortage of eaily-acessible mentors. Every brain I have tried to pick about various paths and tips always gives ambiguous answers that hint that they do not really know what they are talking about.
Glad I’m able to help 🤝
Informative video as always
🙏🏻
Another great video and also great soundtrack !
🙏🏻
I love this, its just a day job and a piece of paper. You do you, do more worry less. Good reminder, from a guy on a the same road. Thanks!
💯
Thanks a lot for this, really opened my eyes..❤
My pleasure 😊
I can relate to the worrying part. It is so hard to get the work/life and part time study balance right 😃
yeah 💯
Thanks for the video!

This is a great video! Thanks for the information! Just wanted to share as well, if the first timestamp is at 0:00 in the description, it will show the timestamps on on the actual video of what sections are which lesson. It's just a UA-cam requirement to start at 0:00 to get the maximum benefits of the timestamp feature.
Thanks again for sharing this wonderful information.
thanks for the tips :)
I started hacking causally years ago and when I hit 40 I decided to take it really seriously. Currently doing your roadmap at the same time as bug bounties. Thank you for everything you do with this channel.
inspirational!! you got this 👏🏻
@UnixGuy thank you buddy! I'll keep you posted.
Great information.
Glad it was helpful!
W Video as always!! Keep up the great work man ❤
Appreciate it!
Another great video!

I want to thank you for helping clear my learning path. I just cleared my ISC2 cyber security course. Will be starting my EJPT once i have the money soon. Thank You!
congrats on the passd 🎉
@@UnixGuy I always wanted to get into cyber security but never had a clear idea from where to start. But your videos just laid it out for me. Thank You so much once again.
Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing this with us. You show an human and not superhero attitude

When you quoted Seneca I knew I was in the right place! I follow his practices as well as take in all the bits of knowledge you share! Thank you so much!
Same, Meditations is also excellent.
yeah love their stuff!
Hey Adam, love your videos and appreciate your advice and knowledge so much! Could you please make a video on how to improve the communication skills when it comes to explaining either advanced or simple IT terms/concepts both to people who know IT and has basically no understanding? Ive noticed that i sometimes overexplain or get too detailed, either way the person im trying to explain to gets confused or just lost. Would Appreciate your take on this!
Thanks in Advance,
thanks again for the content!
it’s a skill on its own but first you need to understand the concepts really good. Be so good they can’t ignore you, a concept I explained in this video:

Worrying, noted... I worry about my future too much that I get confuse on the path to follow. Thank you
I still struggle with the worrying part 🫠
I have came across your channel recently and found that this the stuff I'm wandering on internet, I'm going through a series of Rocky career path I worked with best banks but never found that satisfaction or fire which keep me going on as investment banker or analyst, even though I'm commerce graduate I have received more peace in IT, self learning from early age but I know I know just bubble wrap of really necessary skills, just need help to figure out cybersecurity career path, it's depressing to move back to same seat which we left for better life, it's getting dark n cold I have disappointed parents and self..😔 I have watched your road map videos as well but still feeling missing, I know it's not the appropriate place for comments like this..bdw great video luv ur contents ❤
hey mate, trust me most people do have ro my paths, you’re just not privvy to their personal struggles.
I don’t want you feel lost; instead I want you to choose ONE roadmap and follow it, and trust me. your life will change in ways you can’t imagine
I feel like most of these points are pretty applicable to most careers and not just cybersecurity, all good stuff
that’s interesting to know! I haven’t worked in other careers so I wouldn’t know. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
I have a question, to freelance or perform job simulation tasks as a security analyst, do I need to have a dedicated laptop or just use my personal laptop.
personal is fine
I just passed isc2 cc exam, next I'm looking at google cybersecurity certificate. After that what certification should i do as I'm looking for Blue team roles like soc analyst... should i go with comptia security+ or blue team soc L1 ?
congrats! go with blue team and/or any of the certs in this video:
ua-cam.com/video/wLgkX6F3ZDA/v-deo.html
Dude. This video is fantastic. Im doing 12 hour nights by myself with a 90,000 endpoint client.......nothing normal about it with a young daughter and working from my lounge room it is basically a cross between torture and hell on earth. Always tired. No time for me or my family, always low and cranky. Im going for another job now, hopefully it works out Always take care of yourself!!!
wishing you the best my friend!
Hello your content has been really helpful! I just completed my google certification the other day and I was wondering if you could suggest some cost friendly ways to enhance my skills. I was looking at comptia+ but safe to say its kinda out of my reach😅. Would really appreciate if you could suggest some projects or any labs or anything like that. Thank you for all your work!
congrats on finishing the google cert, I’ve linked to a video at the end of this video with all the projects 😉

@@UnixGuythank you very much
Unix could you please tell me the university in Australia like WGU in America?
hey thiri, we don’t have an equivalent in Australia, all universities here are overpriced! But, we have a FREE Tafe Cert IV in cyber security!
Hey quick question, if I want to get into application security what is a good road map to get into application security ?
good thing I have an entire video about it 😜

Couldn't help but notice those stack of books in the background, what books are you currently reading? Just curious to know I recently started reading psycho-cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz
those are a collection of books i collected from certifications and other random stuff :)
@@UnixGuy can't thank you enough for the content you post, its been super helpful I'm 2 months into getting my google cybersecurity certification and with ChatGPT I've been able to almost complete this course within these 2 months considering its a 6 month course!
I finished the Google Cybersecurity Certificate yesterday and I'm a bit lost on where to go. I'm sure no one does everything that is taught there, I mean, I can't see how that would be possible. So I don't know if to focus more on SIEM tools, Linux and SQL, Python...
I created a roadmap to follow after the google cyber cert:
ua-cam.com/video/LFlsDm8w36A/v-deo.html
3:05 Thank you.
I could not stay in a job where I have nothing more to learn. It would mean that I waste 8 hours per day (plus commuting time). Regardless of how much they would pay me, I simply could not afford to waste time I could otherwise spend learning something new.
100% me too!
Is there anyway you can mentor me? or show me a road map i can follow? I think i am doing to much to fast and don't really know what direction to take first.
have you watched my videos? I have various roadmaps that you can choose from!
I don’t have capacity to do one on one mentorships, you’ll find most of the information that you need in the videos (please watch them) and of if you still require further help then I have a paid mentorship call (link in the about section of this youtube channel)
@@UnixGuy yes I’ve seen almost all your videos lol, but I was looking for a more one on one for specific question, but I will go see about that paid phone call you offer it will be a great investment for sure.
Hello unix guy, m working in a banking sector i want to see myself in cyber security domain and recently i completed Google cyber security course after this which course i have to take pls guide me.
Hi Naveen, this is what you need to do after the google cyber cert:
ua-cam.com/video/LFlsDm8w36A/v-deo.html
i just started a service desk role. I want to do an online degree, should i do Computer Science or Cyber Security. which one gives more opportunities. is there anything like WGU for sydney Au
cyber security
@@UnixGuy is there anything like WGU for Australia?
@SY3D, there is none that I know of in Australia.
No, but there is free Cert IV from tafe@@ZZYDDD
i wish i knew it wasn't going to be very exciting; but i saw an opportunity to jump out of second line, and took it. coming up to two years but the day to day work doesn't give me much to get excited about; or we're just lucky and not getting caught up in anything
you can use the time to study! but yeah sometimes things can be slow
@@UnixGuy oh I am doing . Done the Google certification and now on Blue Team Security 1 with BTS lined up after it
Will AI take over cybersecurity jobs like Pentest , Soc Analysts? And Sys Admins? Thank you 🙏🏻
good thing I made an entire video answering this:
ua-cam.com/video/5sCrHjDMsiU/v-deo.html
can u make a video about improving communication, especially technical fluency to stand out in a job interview for freshers
you will probably find what you’re looking for in these two videos:
ua-cam.com/video/86O3ED_Yzg0/v-deo.html
and this: ua-cam.com/video/uaK7pM3aRj8/v-deo.htmlsi=iegr2gp8amZ8_LSa
for number 6 which one matters more degree or a certificate. I am sorry to ask this question but I have always been told that a degree is everything (since I came outside America and you know how parents are since we came oversees its all about the degree ) However lately, I started to feel like it really is not all that especially being in cybersecurity profession. especially watching your videos when you said that they don't really matter that much. what do you think about my question, is it even a good question to ask to begin with please lmk if you read this comment or anyone, I love to hear people's opinions over this.
degrees can definitely help specially if you are young and fresh off school BUT you can do it without a degree. Watch my videos for various roadmaps, start here:
ua-cam.com/video/6LIUhx95MCU/v-deo.html
@@UnixGuy no way you responded that quick
Thank you so I am assuming that the answer is degree is more important than the certifications and I will watch the videos thanks and I already finished my associates and Google cybersecurity certificate btw but it's still little difficult to get a job but I will watch the video and thanks again
Thanks for good content. I am nit sure if it's only me the background music is louder on my wireless Bluetooth which was bit annoying. Ignore if it's only.
Sorry about that! one other person said the same, but then other people said they love the music so looks like its not loud for everyone! im not sure 😕
Hi there sir, is it possible to be a cyber analyst and Penetration tester at the same time
you can learn both skills but you need to specialise at some point
@@UnixGuy thanks
DON'T FORGET TO GIVE HIM A LIKE IF YOU FOUND THE VIDEO INTERESTING. THANKS FOR THE VALUABLE CONTENT MR UNIXGUY
🙏🏻
Been stuck as IT support for 9 years, one thing I like about it is no certs no experience needed with companies that just hire anyone for the role and pay well, if I want to jump would jump to cybersecurity by taking Google and Microsoft certs but getting cybersecurity jobs in Asia Pacific is very different from the West most companies don't even know that Google and Microsoft have cybersecurity certs and Asian employers only know Cisco, CISSP and ITIL a totally useless cert.
hey mate, I totally understand!
However, even in the west most employers dont know the google/microsoft cyber analyst certs because they’re new BUT everyone knows the *skills* that you learn in those certs so trust me people in Asia understand the content of those certs, they know what Linux/SQL/Python are.
Either way, there is no reason why you can’t start learning and improving your skills :)
Great video. Is it possible to work 1099 overseas as a cybersecurity analyst??
sorry i dont know what ‘1099’ means
@@UnixGuy sorry, it’s working as a contractor. I was hoping to be a digital nomad doing cybersecurity.
Am still very new but I wish I can learn more am in my late 30's but I love to have the best mentor on cyber security
start learning :)
Holy cow. It's like you can read my mind.... am I to old for this, what cert should I get first, am I doing enough........
you are not alone my friend
