I glossed over sec+ and passed but now i can learn the concepts in depth as the exam wasnt.
SOC Analyst Level I
$52,000-$63,000 DOE
Full time (on call)
Bachelor’s Degree (required)
CISSP (required)
OSCP (required)
CEH (required)
GSEC (required)
Network+ (required for some fucking reason)
12+ years experience (required)
Job description: You will be working entirely by yourself and blamed for any security issues that happen at any time of day for any reason. You will also be required to handle all helpdesk tickets because we don’t understand the difference between security and technical support and are too cheap to hire more than 1 person.
Keep on making excuses
FACTS
@@CFH298 It's a joke peabrain
@@krispbacon9474Implying how this individual wrote up this comment regarding most job postings on LinkedIn and thinks there is gate-keeping within Cybersecurity, I’d beg to differ. This person seems butt hurt by making a long ass complaint in a thread.
Fully remote (although you must live in this one specific city to come into the office twice a month)
This channel is PURE GOLD not just another boring cybersecurity channel.
Thanks for the information, I'm switching fields from the auto industry over to cyber security. This gave me alot to think about
Golden video as always, I'll always make a point to remember to recommend your channel to my infosec buddies. Much respect!
Your advice about studying the cert material in order to understand it as opposed to just passing the test is spot on!
Collecting a bunch of certs will help you filter your way through the applicant tracking systems. They might even get you through the HR/recruiter gatekeepers! But sooner or later, when the day finally comes for you to stand tall before the hiring manager, you better know how to apply that knowledge ;).
I wish you all the best!
Mad Hat, Pink Box Donuts are the 10 on my scale! Keep posting you're doing an amazing job as a mentor.
i enjoy your videos because its obvious you enjoy making them, i appreciate all the efforts.
1. Lack of Knowledge
2. Lack of Patience
3. Lack of Passion
4. Lack of Jobs
5. Lack of Persistence
6. Lack of Good Hiring Odds
500 people going for one position and your chances are well below 1%
Its a numbers game, plus layoffs and hiring freezes don't help
Finally someone making full sense and being brutally honest
Thank you
love your videos dude, keep up the good work
Nice video as always my man
That's what I needed thanks man ♥
People gonna hate this video, because they hate reality and you pegged it!
Great Video as always! Glad I subbed.
Great stuff 👾
I'm waiting!
Gotta mention that mr robot 🤖 is a top tier show while becoming a cybersecurity analyst 🤓😏⌨️🖥️🦭
I literally love you so much! You make fantastic content and I am a huge fan!
Thank you! 💚 I hope the video wasn't too much off base from my others 😅
I have a BAS in Cybersecurity, am currently in an IT job, have an internship under my belt, and am actively pursuing my Security+ and OSCP and haven’t received 1 interview in nearly 300 job applications. I include my résumé and a cover letter. How is it so difficult to even get an interview in a field that’s considered “in-demand”? My professors told me getting a job in my field would be like throwing a dart at a dartboard. Even if I don’t land the perfect Cyber job instantly, it’s very easy to get something -- WRONG. GETTING AN ENTRY LEVEL CYBERSECURITY JOB IS IMPOSSIBLE. EMPLOYERS THESE DAYS WANT 5+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, A DEGREE, AND AT LEAST 1 CERTIFICATION FOR ENTRY LEVEL. I went to school just for this and can’t get an entry level job no matter what I do. Fuck this industry man so frustrated
Make sure to run your resume through an applicant tracking system (ATS) checker. Revise the resume draft to include more keywords from the post to increase the ATS score. But do not lie.
Further, the lack of a completed Security+ might be getting you dumped at first glance. I would pause applying, refocus on completing Security+, then reengage the applicant process once Sec+ is in hand.
Good luck. It can be done.
As someone who moved from a regular help desk position to a entry level security analyst this just isnt true. Or at least the experience part isn’t. There are a couple things I can’t tell you right now you are doing wrong. If you don’t have your security + or any other certs in security, right there you have significantly lowered your chances. It probably also doesn’t have any projects. Your resume honestly probably just sucks.
Yes jobs put they want 5 years or exp and all that nonsense but the truth is that is the ideal candidate. They understand in most cases they won’t get that person. Just try and highlight as many of your security and it skills as possible and polish everything up with a good cert or two.
Probably ditch the cover letter. That is a mistake unless you are capable or writing a killer one. Chances are it isn’t helping you.
And yes a degree is completely useless these days pretty much. Most positions would rather you have security + and no degree. However many jobs look at a security degree more or less equally so if you are still not getting calls most likely you aren’t properly highlighting the skills you picked up from your degree.
@@nathanhargenrader645 brother i have certified network defender, ccna and i'm preparing for az-500 and i still can't even land a job as technician, let along network administrator -_-
thanks
Join the space force
Great video! Could you give us some tips to build a good resume that will both make it through the ATS but also please the HR people?
Something I want to bring up about the not applying to enough jobs topic is that where I live there doesnt seem to be anywhere near as many entry level cyber security analyst jobs as people make it out to be. I would go on hiring sites and look for open positions that fit what im looking for, but it would be like 5 max. So at that point after applying to those 5, my only option is to apply to a job thats 2 hours away from my house which im not willing to do. And in my currently living situation, working remotely isnt a good option.
the tier list vid rlly gave the channel a bump
Facts Man! ✌🏽😎
I had a Program Director tell me straight up that many candidates cannot explain hashing versus encryption. I guess people are just not trying, most of them.
Love the outro, am guilty of almost all of these 5. 😢
Thx for content
Starting Python chapter of Google Cybersecurity certification next week.
Thank you for watching! Best of luck in your studies! 💚
Crazy part is I knew some of the stuff he mentioned and I haven’t even majored in cyber security yet… just young me messing with my computer trying to understand why things weren’t working or why things worked the way they did.
Speaking of security- those guns 💪 ❤
Thank you for saving my time
I would say I have a curious fascination with cybersecurity. Exploring more everyday 👍🏼
I like your advice. I am still in school, with about six months left to go. It sounds like I should start working on certificates soon.
WRONG.. you need to start applying NOW, do not wait.. #1 mistake I see peeps trying to enter the field do is waiting till they graduate or obtaining the cert before they start applying.. APPLY NOW, don't wait
Bro you're huge lmao lets gooooo 💪
Hey man! I have worked in Software Engineering for some years now, but I always wanted to do this transition to Cybersecurity or Pentesting. However, I still love my current job as a Developer, is there anyway to get the best of both worlds? What would be the best way to do this transition without going back to the very beginning?
Love your videos ❤️
Devs should be able to slide into security without doing the weird trad IT route of help desk, network admin, sysadmin, security. In fact, your knowledge of how things work would be good for malware detonation, or dynamic analysis, and also reverse engineering the malware samples.
0:40 Gold! 😂
Damn, I guess I do not know. Thanks bud. I am working on it lol
Bro said, “you know who I relate to? Homelander.” 👹
Saying my coworker is homelander lol
Accuratteee
I agree with all the skills necessary to get in cyber security. And the imposter syndrome is real and i can become an arrogant ***** when a person tries to call my gangsta.
I rarely speak up for myself because I'm afraid of repercussions from my boss so I avoid calling out people on their bs. But sometimes the bs is too much and I try and say my opinion, but they just keep ranting how they're right. Can't change people's minds who think anything you say is wrong because you were hired after they were 😅
That is such a lame reason to think that you're right about something. Ignore them as much as possible. Some people just love to irritate others. Don't let them. Be professional but ignore them at all costs when possible.
@@williambarney2874 I agree they are just haters .
You got a point
Thank goodness I dont have any of these stages😭😭😭
Looking at Mad Hat's video from last year looks like "When mom says we have Mad Hat at home" or "When you buy Mad Hat from Wish".
😂
Job market is very tough right now. But keep pushing friends!
humor saves me.- your humor.
So the "lack of" is the reason. Isn't?
10/10 passions for computers.
You're telling me that just downloading VMware and downloading the iso image is not how to set up a virtual machine? 😮
Nah that's pretty much it lol if you're using VMware. Not complicated but good to know how to setup the vm's settings.
@madhatistaken just passed my Security+ yesterday. Your videos inspired me to continue the path to cybersecurity I'm going for CEH next 🫡
I want to get a job online. Do you advise me to study cybersecurity or web development?
whichever you're more interested in. Both are well paying jobs and can be done remotely 😁
I feel like the entire reason this video got made is because of that coworker that pisses you off so much lol
It was the inspiration...partly 😅
everyone needsa vent sometimes@@madhatistaken
You know you like computers when you laugh at the question.
This might be true to IT in general but not in all fields. I’m trying to transition from manufacturing into IT. We get fresh from college “manufacturing engineers” that can’t even read a tape measure. So yeah there’s that 🤷♂️🤣
Eyy bawww i got a Krispy kreme right down the road from me. U need the plug? 😂
I wish 😅
CAN YOU MASTER THIS GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE? Find out and win a prize!😂
five reason, I do Not want a Cyber security job. 1. Long hours 2. Reporting to ten different mangers (most of which have no IT experience or pretend to) 3. Endless requirements for reports and attending meetings with managers. 4. Working with millennials, worst dealing with some bone-head from India that barely speaks English. 5. Being on call 24 hours a day, see number 1. Finally, constant need to keep learning new skills, and the massive amount of time, spent learning all those skills, knowledge, building labs, just to keep up on your job. When people in other industry just get a degree and work for 30 years and actually take weekend off and do not think about spending all weekend in a dark room, learning some new hacking skills....and at 7:03 in the video he hits on the a huge reason why all IT sucks.
Reason 6: I’m on 400 ug of acid rn , Alexa next video
