Dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend lately xD
@Ryland Trenton definitely, have been using instaflixxer for months myself :D
I'm not trying to make baller money. I just want to be able to have some money to take my family out after all the bills are paid. The struggle is real!
Gerald Perez shoot for baller. you may get close.
Jmatt good perspective. Just finished my A+ class. I'm new to all this.
with the price of rents etc in most cities you need baller dollars to take care of a family. besides the lower paying jobs are kicking people in the a** just as much or more than higher paying jobs.
Real talk brother .
I agree I’m about to send my woman and the newborn baby to her moms while I sleep in my works parking studying for cyber security SYO-501 I’m just trying to better my life
I say focus in Security. It can be applied to many different areas. I currently hold a CNA, MCSA, Network+, Security+, and GSEC certification. I am thinking about going for my CISSP or some other Security cert. There are far less people in the security field, and security has become more and more important every year. Plus the things you will learn (reducing attack surfaces, risk management, change control, inventory management, hardening services, how to implement secure communication, packet/protocol analysis, etc...) will make you an asset in the IT work space and add to what you might be already focusing in.... Oh and learn how to automate tasks via scripting (python, powershell, bash, etc...).
Completely agree with what you're saying here.
Eric Knott Hi Mr. Knott, what certifications would you recommend for a fresh IT grad? I’ve booked my CompTIA A+ exam for this summer as I’m hoping to get at least some type of entry level certification. I’d appreciate your help tremendously, thank you!
I'm in your exact same situation; a fresh grad looking at entry-level certs. I'm assuming the CompTIA A+ and Security+ are great starts, but I'd love to hear more suggestions!
Eric I think I'm going to do the CompTIA A+ and then switch over to security certifications. A lot of these infosec jobs require at least a security+ to get into the field. So our best bet is to do any security certifications.
Hi Jabran and Eric, Its hard to say. It really depends on where you want to see yourself entering into the workforce, but also what background (including technical school training you have). For me I graduated with a B.S in Information Systems with a major in computer networking (many classes included MCSE books). So I naturally went for the Network+ first. I then entered the workforce joining a small company 60 employees and 25 servers (which exposed me to a lot). It was just me and one other guy who managed everything from servers, workstations, networking, backups, access, etc... role) They were mainly a Microsoft Shop (Windows, Active Directory, etc...) so I then went for my MCSA having some MS background from my school. I never went for the A+ because I wanted to start off in networking and sysadmin type work and thought Network+ would help me with that goal. Although I worked with hardware and learned on the job, I never knew all the fine details that you would get from A+. So as far as certifications, you will want to think about where you want to enter. I see more of an A+ cert for Technicians, and Network+ more for junior network analyst and junior system administrators. You can always go for the A+ then Network+ or Security+ but I also know how much work these can be. Pick one you think will keep you interested and one that will assist in the job role you like. Along with certifications, also think about where you enter into the workforce, what organizations have good advancement opportunities (for long term), or great technical skills (for shorter term). I started my career in a small company that hardly paid enough, but the value of the skills I picked up (Managing Active Directory, Email Server, Windows/Netware servers, SMB File Servers, Veritas backups, networking and some technician type work), made me more valuable for my next venture. In other words, I was not a specialist in one area, but a generalist in many (which can be valuable). I then left that company after a couple years and tripled my salary in my next position which needed my generalist skill set.. Today (12 years later) I am doing great, but I was able to enter my current job based of my experience I picked up at the smaller company. One of the things I see with larger organizations (where I am now), are roles are much more limited. For example, technicians only work on hardware and imaging computers, which won't really give them the skills and advancement if they want to move up faster to jobs like networking and SysAdmin type work (although not all places are like this, consider what will move you up). My only point being its hard to change jobs sometimes and make sure whatever you enter is giving you the skills or future (long term) that will make a great career for you. To me, there are things to always consider (certifications but also where you see yourself later down the road, and the planning and thinking you do to get there). Always think ahead in the decisions you make today. Sorry for the long story, but hope it helps and makes sense. Another piece of advice, is learn as much as you can and be a life learner. When I took security classes at SANS (from Dr Eric Cole who is amazing security instructor by the way... you can look him up on youtube), I remember asking him what I should focus on most or learn the most in security. His answer was learn everything, learn as much as you can about everything because they all matter (but this idea goes beyond just security). My take away was just that, be a life learner. Learn how all these technologies integrate with each other, make them secure, and at the end of the day, its about the end user (and business) and experience you help provide. This is based off my experience only. Hope this helps!
AWS, CRISC, CISM
Thyag Sundaramoorthy you’re the real MVP
Thank you sheesh!!!!
Not one was a Cisco Cert lol Don't know what to think about that.
@@Morristown337 tbh unless you're at a senior network engineer level the Cisco certs will cap around 70-80k outside of ccie and we know how hard that one is to get
@@Morristown337 is cisco the best in IT ?
Jesus the intro!!! Video starts at 1:33
JnoseAll he is so irritating
JnoseAll OMG I swear I was going to say the same damn thing, I was thinking of subscribing but if every video is like this......
sigh people are so impatient...
Thats a fucking annoying intro
Thanks that’s what I scrolled down here for
Should give the top cert in each sector of it. Security, networking, cloud ....
I can do that. Thank you!
Top cert is experience and aptitude
Security: OSCP, CISSP, GSEC
Cloud: AWS , GCP, Azure certs
Networking: CCNA, Wireshark Cert, CCIE
Great posting of the top 3 certs. As a Infrastructure Security Engineer for a on premise and AWS environment you layed out my whole careen track. As I handle auditing as well.
Good overview and ideas to thank about. Thank you!
Thanks for the research work and summary of these.
Is it cold there?
AWS looks good, doing network+ now!!!
great video bro thank you for the info.
Hey man! I love your videos.
I got MTA Certified today (Software Development Fundamentals)! I know it’s entry level and kind of off topic, do you know what kind of entry level job prospects are out there for this Cert?
Thank you, very informative. What is your opinion on CISSP.
Keep the IT info coming! You’re appreciated here in Cali!
Thank you! I will always do my best to provide the best information that I can.
You are appreciated here in Illinois
Hi, I have a question can you help? I have Bsc. In civil engineering and I like to go to software engineering side. Is it possible to do. I searched degrees and found MSc. In information technology can be done by anyone who have any kind of BSc. Degree. So is it good to do that?As I already got BSc. In civil engineering?can I move on to softt engineering job with that MSc degree?. or do I need to get BSc degree in software engineering first?please help
Thank You
Hey man what if I’m passionate about helping ppl and am fairly new to IT, would you recommend me going into IT? There’s this school online that could help me get certified in 8 months but I’m just skeptical
Thanks for your information
I just passed the CISM and currently working on CISSP and CRISC and CISA. These Certifications require 3-5 years of work experience in the security domains.
They sure do, but once you get that it's smooth sailing with money flowing into your pockets. I think any certification is a journey you have to be willing to take. It sometimes takes years to get where you want to be.
You can take the cissp even if you don’t have the 5years and you become an associate cissp till you get the 5 years
Being I'm system admin of 9 years Windows, rhca certified, can I choose aws associate or devops or sysops to boost my carrier
What about cisa, cissp?????
"crap ton"- is that one or two words? actually flows well together as one word.
What are the prior certification I have to do before getting CISM..
Do you always have to update your certifications or will you continue getting new jobs with the training that companies provide ?
You pay a fee and do continuing education yo renew your certs. The only company that makes you recertify by testing is Cisco.
I will have my MBA in a year and will likely take the CISM route after graduation.
Where I am from even if you have these certs doesn't guarantee you a tonne of $$ if you have no experience.. You really need to work your way up the ladder. I have mainly network certifications such CCNA, CEH, HCNA, HP Flexnetworks , going for CCNP Switch, just got my GIAC GCFE -> next GIAC probably be GCFA or GCIH.
Dude your channel is. Blowing up! Good job!
I don't know about blowing up, but thank you!!
WORD UP. I have SSCP, CRISC and CISSP. My salary jumped from £18k to £75k in 5 years.
What do you think of the PMI-ACP Certificate????
ITIL and COMP TIA Cybersecurity Analyst + are good ones as well.
Your videos are awesome.....so much informative
Thank you!
I.T. Career Questions Sir,can u please make a quick videoed on
1)Aws prerequisites
2)how to start carrier in cyber security
3)Carriers regarding,"Ipr&Cyberlaw"
I can
Thank You so much,Sir!!!
Hey sup bro Im abt to start IT career in softwer testing and I want to nknow ur opinion abt it thanks .
Should i have to do any other course before doing cissp
I have the last two and I don't feel like I'm making a ton of money. But it may just be perspective, but if you're in the security field and you also read and study security trends as a hobby then you can probably pass the last two without studying as you can learn on the security background to pull you through the exam.
Hi, thinking of making a career change. What entry level IT job can I get in less than a 6-12 months with a certification. A+, Network, Cyber Security? Looking into these or any other you suggest? Thanks
Help desk is a great starting point. Good luck!
The A+ is an excellent way to enter the IT world. Keep in mind that entry level may start you as low as $14/hour (I started at $17. Then to $15 then to $22 - contracts). If you can pay the bills with that, you’ll gain valuable experience. Net+ is great for network hardware troubleshooting and works best as a compliment to A+, in my opinion, and has a logical flow with an A+ job. Don’t know details on Sec+.
Are you certified in I.T and do u have to be good at math or is basic math allgood. Thanks
Basic is fine... You have to know submitting
Who is going to get certified for one of these certifications this year and start making some baller cash money? Leave a comment and let me know if one of these are on your list and if they are you can buy me a beer.
I.T. Career Questions sir, I have a question. I'm a freshman student in network administration. should I start studying for any certificate? do u have any advice for me?
thank you!
I.T. Career Questions hahah you’re funny but I’ll take you up on the offer. I’ll do my research and get on the certificates!
You should have some certs lined up with your network admin classes, but if for some reason you do not. CCNA to CCNP to CCIE You see here: www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/certifications.html
Funny? Funny lookin' maybe! Good luck!
I.T. Career Questions, what about CCIE?
Top certs. Cissp, CCIE, MCSE, AWS, and DEVOPS plus learn coding for automation like Python.
thanks for informations and understandable english .
Thanks great help for new comer
what about data science??
Lol. “I know you guys love money” lol
I love it! Thank you for sharing
Great video :)
Haha thanks!
geraldine pearson I don't, but it helps living.
Right lol
Right lol
What about best paying intermediate Certifications??
Like how much money are we talking about??
Please tell me best course after B. A.
What about OSCP and OSCE and very rarely OSEE?!!
Great videos
+Andy_231821 thank you
What are the best certs for people that are just getting into IT
sirpsychosexy comptia a+, network+, security
Cisco certs
The aws certification is not thst hard i worked on aws console everyday
Cloud and VM is the future people. Get into it.
So I've been working as a phlebotomist but I realized at 32 it's not for me and I want to so it related jobs and I have no experience or certs but a strong work ethic, do you think it would be a waste of time to start now? Would I still get a good job?
Ashley Kraus I'm five years older and have finished my first class. Still studying for my first certs. Not a waste of time at all.
Ashley Kraus Also, I've been a surgical tech. so you being in medical just makes you more appealing to a computer, network, or security need in the medical world.
DE Nichols thank you I really want to change my life. That really inspires me.
Ashley Kraus I worked hard to find a good school when a good one had already found me through my resume. Turns out, I couldn't do better. I'm going to more of a tech school in Durham, NC. They're accredited but they focus on getting you your credentials rather than a 4 year degree. It's the right path for me. Take a look around in your area. I've found the teachers at Carolina Career College to teach beyond the test and use real examples to understand how it's helpful.
DE Nichols that's what I want more of a tech school program. I will definitely look possibly online. Thanks for replying it's definitely helpful to hear from other people in similar situations.
With all of the equipment listed to make this video I didn't see a script or cue cards listed, they would have bumped up your production values. ;-)
What about SAP?
Working on cissp now should have been gotten this certification
Going to buy one online..
Nice video
great will someone contact me on my cloud service account.
what's your rate?
Join the Navy reserves as an IT or CTN. Get a top secret clearance and contract for the govt for the $$$$.
Yup 10/10 can confirm, jealous I didn't think to go reservist.
Melendr3z NSA is gay
You keep talking about a ton of money. But your not saying how much?
probably 50k
Is Ceh and ccie good career options??
CEH no, CCIE yes. But one does not simply get CCIE, it's quite the journey :>
Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) - Has been and still is the highest paying job in the IT field.
Ayeote99 : please can you share me your mail id to me, ahamedkhan025@gmail.com
Great video! You have one follower from Azerbaijan :)
Thank you!
Is it peaceful now so everybody can focus on IT instead of war?
@@aleksandarrikic9208 My comment was made 2 years ago :) . It's peaceful in Baku but not in the war regions. Nobody wants a war, but you have no choice if someone illegally occupies your lands.
I'm a grade 12 ICT I really like ur videos👍👍👍👍👍
THank you!
Make a video about OSWE :P
Working on my RHCSA currently, then tacking AWS courses next. Due to my experience for over a decade, I take in $90,000 annually,. Hoping these certificates let me work as a remote systems architect soon. I want to get the fuck out of the U.S. by 2020.
How About CISSP.
I love how you b.s. your way through this video lmao......
I'm surprised VCP is not on this list, VMware is everywhere.
You left out cisco
Do you have any of those certs ?
thanks
Nice ☺️
I think Data science and python is most important to
Reign of AWS is over in cloud and vertualization now its RedHat in the market is booming at full speed and the certificates of RedHat its need ass burning effort to get it.
suprised OSCP is not there
TLDW: 1) AWS Certified Solutions Architect, 2) CRISC (Risk and IS Control), 3) CISM (Certified Info Security Manager)
Tldr; AWS, CRISC, CISM
Great video. I got a BS in Cybersecurity and the following certifications:
SSCP - Systems Security Certified Practitioner - ISC2
CompTIA Network+
CompTIA Security+
CompTIA Project+
CompTIA A+
CompTIA CIOS IT Operations Specialist
CompTIA CSIS Secure Infrastructure Specialist
CIW Web Security Associate
CIW Site Development Associate
ECES - EC-Council Certified Encryption Specialist
ECIH - EC-Council Certified Incident Handler
So far they have paid zero. Experience is King and it's very hard to get it.
With the aws architect pro cert and experience to match u will make $115k to $150k depending on your location. Keep in mind you will need at least 10 years of experience before somebody pays you this much.
I have 35 years experience and 4 professional certs. In my experience I don't see those 3 choices being the Gold Standard at all.
Ccna and mcsa are related to each other?
@@Krunaldigital not at all
I agree. There's a difference between making a ton of money and competing for very few jobs vs making decent money and being able to get a job easily. You can become a CEO for a big company and make a ton of money. But small chance you will.
wow why would u spend 1:33 for nothing
Maybe cover the actual $ one could make, like AWS averages $150k, or Blah averages $135k. Thanks for the video.
Derrick Snell that's why I look at comments. Thank you. :)
Derrick Snell Do you have to hold a degree in IT? I have a BS and MS but they are both in healthcare.
Faith W,
If you have a MS, you should be able to get into IT with just certificate or be trained to be one in no time. Some companies care about degrees, some experience, and others rely on certifications, good luck
Learn the basic skills first and gain some experience along the way. Passing certification tests alone isn’t enough.
n1c basic skills like python, and what else?
Sorry, CISSP pays more than the CISM. The reason the CRISC is the highest paid cert is a few years ago all the old white men (like me) were grandfathered in to the CRISC if you had the CISA or CISM from ISACA. So we were already Senior Managers and Director level security people when we "earned" the CRISC.
AWS makes money right now, but if it becomes the dominant tech, the workers wages will be reduced to near minimum wage.
If you think I am exaggerating, just look at the history of how Amazon treats ALL of their workers.
A1 info
you forgot to mention INFORMS CAP Certificate....
Like ISC2's CAP?
CISA covers both CISM and CRISC
Yet not all CISAs can pass the CRISC and/or CISM.
@@richman542
Yes not all CISAs go for CISM / CRISC but most of them.
Those who dont, just not bothered to.
CISA has no comparison.
CRISC is pronounced as SeeRisk
Thank you so very much!
Is it me or does he remind you of Seth Rogen
He does, even by his voice !
which camera are you using for recording bro
In this video I was using my Sony a9. Now I'm using the a9 and a Panasonic 180
You say that they are money makers, at least give us an approximate...
between $1.00 and $1 million
really? This comment and this video destroyed your credibility in my eyes. this is my first and last video I will watch from you. You are a CLOWN.
@@juliogio4622 no sir you are a clown, his answer was realistic.
CISSP is better then the CISM btw.
YOu are right It always has been, and will be for a foreseable future..
So none of the SANS certifications are legit? Damn! And they cost so much money!
People dont realize that I.T is the number one job in the world
Hustle Marsalis over saturated=shit pay.
Engineering is better
@@byteblok not at all saturated, security will be a million short in 6-7 years
@Jerry Grauert can you please tell us more about your educational background? How did you learn Linux so well?
@@byteblok its actually increasing in job hiring....so many old companies are looking for IT specialist
Don't worry about the money, make sure you make the people that you are working for and the end users happy. That is our job as an IT, we are doing this to help alleviate the frustration that computers/servers/etc. can bring. Strive to get better, learn, give it relentless effort and the money will show in due time.
ISACA? Gosh, for the 80th billion time its spelled ISAAC. Not Isac, Issac, Isaic, or ISACA. Lol but for real that one sounds like the perfect fit for me.
How much? 👎
The look of disgust on his face Lmao!
😬
this vid is pretty pointless, you’re not giving the path to get the cert. and just scaring ppl away...
The point of the video was to tell people what the highest paying certs were. It was never implied or suggested that I would tell you the path to get them.
As far as scaring people away, it's not easy to make a lot of money so as I said in the video these certifications are no joke. The people whom are ready for certifications like these or looking to go down this path will know and understand what it takes and what is required to get them. If you are scared away by someone telling you that these certs are no joke, or scared about the time and dedication it requires to get one of these certifications and ultimately lead to a job that will pay you a shit ton of money this probably isn't the field for you. Consider baking cupcakes or putting together some nice floral arrangements.
For those of you whom aren't scared by this, it's much like any commitment you make in life and a goal that must be set for you. If this is something you want to achieve there's not anyone stopping you. Plan your steps and crush your goals.
I.T. Career Questions I mean what type of audience you want to appeal to? There are several: 1. People that are already in IT mid level(maybe looking to advance). 2. Beginners that are looking to get into IT. Or Entry Level IT (that may or may not continue the IT path). Your method discourages two of the three away...
I’m just saying look at these other Vids on youtube that are promoting people learn a computer language like Python, Java and etc..
Entry developers can make 100k with a year of code school and etc. You make it sound like people need to repeat 4 years of college...
you destroyed the troll
also didn't bother to say how much money they would be making with each cert either.... essentially this 6 min video was as useful as a 3 worded list.
Mate, when you say a lot tonne of money, it isn't actually. Having those certs without relevant experience isn't ideal. It's all about networking and how lucky you are.
you know whats money. money. thats right i knew it all along. the culprit . the money. sad times money.
