    This just brought tears to my eyes cuz it’s like you were talking directly to me 😢 this is EXACTLY where I’m at- a beginner suffering from imposter syndrome, thinking about collecting every cert under the sun like all of CompTIA, CCNA, all the cyber certs under the sun.. like it overwhelmed me to the point where I said maybe I’ll just settle for data analytics or IT project management which are great fields but not where my heart is. A UA-camr named Day also recommended Blue team but since it was just him talking about it and it didn’t show up on a lot of HR job postings I said it must not be worth it. Long story short, you gained a new subscriber in me and im so thankful for your professional and encouraging message!

      I think it depends where you live. I'm from Brazil and here international certifications ( CompTIA , CCNA, AWS and others ) have curriculum weight.
      I think the biggest problem at the moment is the fact that the market is flooded with professionals (many overqualified due to layoffs). I'm trying to get into the field (I have an associate degree in Database + certifications and extracurriculars) through the support sector and most jobs have between 2 and 6 thousand applicants, even if you have an extremely above average education is likely to be out of a job because there are people with similar training but with practical experience competing...
      I think it's time to continue studying to be able to surf the next wave that should come with the end of the recession (who knows when this shit ends)...
      PS: I looked at vacancies in other areas and realized that competition is also brutal due to the economic moment..

    I really like your personality in general. Can tell you’ve worked very hard through your younger years and you’ve acquired a sense of commitment, focus and hard work. Your words in the end about ‘focusing’ on continuous learning & improvement over getting complacent and playing the blame game really resonated with me. A logical mind doesn’t seek excuses, a logical mind focuses on action.
    Thank you so so much for this content - I couldn’t have come across this video at a better time.
    Really appreciate the effort, quality & knowledge you have put into these videos. I’m beginning my blue team cert tomorrow and I’ve decided to go through security + and focus on my comprehension for foundation instead of sitting through the exam. I don’t have that much money so I thought blue team would be a wise purchase for now on a budget while I’m holding down a job I hate - wanted to ask your thoughts and opinions on my decision?
    Love your videos brother, I’ll be supporting your channel always. Please consider starting a blog as well and potentially migrating into becoming a source of news & development in the cyber security world person - and then you can perhaps look at ways to monetise that so you can continue doing that and also earn from the time you put into it

    Thank you for such great content. I've been in my HelpDesk role for about a year and I was so focused on getting the A+ certification just to have it on my CV before I go for Network+ that I kinda lost my 'why'. My end goal is to be in cybersecurity threat hunting and eventually pentesting so I assumed that I needed all these certs and know networking 100% before I even went for those certifications but now watching your video I'm definitely going to go for the Google Certification then Blue Team instead of the A+, Network+ and Security +. Skills are more important than the number of certifications you have on your CV.
    Thank you again!

    First - I want to thank you for your hard work and making videos, which are beyond helpful for me!
    And second - please, would you share your opinion about is there an age, considered too late for getting a first job in cyber security?
    If you have a Master degree and then - a PhD degree; if you are trained to learn constantly an enormous amount of information, analyse it and make important conclusions + you love to read, learn and analyse; if you realise that cyber security is the work you want to spend your life with; if you are coming from a very, very different area /for example Art/ ; and other "ifs" ...Is 48 years extremely too late for a career change and too bold to try to step into the field of cybersecurity?
    Thank you in advance for your honest answer!
    Best regards,

      It's not too late, you have a lot of transferrable skills and life experience that's very valuable - BUT, a career change is difficult at any age, so you'll need to put in a lot of time and effort to build your skills.
      I highly you recommend you start with this certification and take it from there:

My current role is within financial services risk & compliance so there's a chance I might pivot to GRC cyber, however I am enjoying learning the technical skills so at this stage I want to keep my specialisation broad and expand my skills and knowledge further in the industry first.
