Here you are beautiful soul family keep going and keep shining like a star ✨️ 💛 thank you for your kindness support, encouragement and inspiration. We are always grateful and thankful for your all kindness
Thank you so much for linking all the courses. My B.S in Cybersecurity will be completed in around 6 months, so I'm looking for basically anything I can do extra to make my resume stand out. These sound like great options! Much appreciated!!
I chanced on your channel just a few days ago and my whole understanding and love for cyber careers is only doubled or tripled. Thanks for sharing all the resources and knowledge.
GOAT! Thanks for posting @SandraLiu. One of these courses will be great to addition to my Net + cert I’m getting soon. Great content keep it up. I’ve been watching your growth for a while, motivates me to keep pushing through my career change. Blessings.
As usual, you’ve produced an excellent episode with actionable information. I hold IT and cybersecurity certifications and have a portfolio showcasing my proficiency in SIEM tools like Splunk SOAR. However, I’ve been a Buddhist monk for nearly 5 years, and the job market has drastically changed since 2019. Despite my optimism, I know highly accomplished yet unemployed individuals in Silicon Valley. I’ve also encountered professionals with over 10 years of CS experience who struggle to find work. Navigating the cognitive market in the age of AI is challenging, but channels like this are greatly appreciated. 🧠 😎
Thanks for another video. I have one request to make it simpler for me. I want to make a career switch in the next couple years. I have no tech/IT/cyber background at all. In what order should I get which certs?
Definitely the CompTIA Security+. This is the most popular cyber beginenr cert and most well known by HR, it'll cover all the foundational topics, but whil eyou study, I'd also recommend doing cyber projects - (vid linked here!) ua-cam.com/video/zc7LTa9q2nI/v-deo.html Hope this helps and best of luck to you!
Hi Sandra! Thanks for the video. I don't mean to be a hater at all but I wanted to just say none of these courses have been in job requirements advertised, like ever. I doubt any decent company will care the slightest (or even take the time to research) about these lower tier certifications. Even beginner roles don't have any of these. Companies don't want to teach, they either want an expert or no one at all, atleast currently in 2024, which is still following the market trends of '22 and '23. We're living in an era in tech that despite having even the higher tier qualifications, there's still layoffs and shortages of hires. I highly doubt getting these certificates will open any doors. Might as well just do more CTFs and projects instead. Just my honest thoughts.
Always appreciate other perspectives so ty for sharing! :D These courses get you the skills needed for the job, but they won't take the place of a cert like the Security+, when you're just starting out, the two biggest things are proving you have the credentials (popular cert) + technical skillset (courses + projects). Some people can jump straight into projects but for lots of beginners, they need something more planned out for them and thats where courses with hands on labs come into play, also great to talk about during your technical interviews or to just add on your resume as a stand alone project. Again, rly appreciate your thoughts but these are just my reasonings behind the courses, ty for your comment! :)
Great Job and thank you for your generosity and enthusiasm!!. I'm a seasoned software engineer with experience in 4 major UK Defence projects transitioning in Information Security. I will be sitting my Security+ next week hopefully! I just subscribed to your newsletter. Thanks you!, great attitude! Jonathan Manoharan.
I also wanted a second opinion on this: i’ve been told not to load up meaning, have too many entry level certifications on ur resume. And aim for higher level certs i.e EH, CISSP
Thank you so much for your information! 🙏🏼 I was rejected a student loan for a certification and a degree is far too much time for my current situation. I followed UNIX Guy as well 👍🏼 I’m looking forward to using all the free and lower cost education in hopes for a GRC Analyst position by next summer 🤞🏼🤞🏼
How did figure out what you liked doing in cyber security? I am currently going back to school and trying to figure what I want to do in this career path. I have always been interested in computers but don’t know what is out there.
Thank you for your video on this topic. Gemini recommend that I buy a router and ethernet switch in order to setup my home lab and get some hands on experience. what's your thought on that?
A wonderful video for those like me who have no background in cybersecurity and are looking for somewhere to start. Any recommendations on a brand of laptop I should be using for taking courses like the ones mentioned. Particularly the ones with labs. Thank you!
What are the best hands on experience for those interested in GRC, I will be pivoting into GRC in October via my company, never worked in cybersecurity before so excited but do not want to be left behind . I have completed a multiple courses already on Google courses but would like some hands on experience and practical experience.
Sandra please let me know i am in Pakistan Karachi OK , I want to learn free cyber security course , At least I want to learn how i can please help me if your a sincere person
hey @withSandra I needed your advice on a career decision. I have done CC by ISC2 and now have got admission into Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst program that trains for GFACT and GSEC certifications through SANS training. But the fee is quite high about $13-18K CAN. Is it a good option to go for this course or is there another path that can generate the same skills and help me set foot into cybersecurity? I am more interested into a non-technical role as I have my bachelors in Aerospace enng and do not have much knowledge of programming and computer skills.
If you mean the Level effect courses, these are pay what you can and you can still make an acc if you enter $0, the free courses are that one, NIST, Tryhackme, and CISA, not every course on this list is a free course. Hope this helps clarify
Please i need your suggestion after 12th how i become a part of CEH and what to do after 12th in which course we can take or any other option also having please help me
thank you sandra, im going to look into the level effect course. Would you still recommend me to get the CompTIA trifecta (A+, Net+ and Sec+) including the Google certs for IT support and Cybersecurity?
Hey! I have a vid coming out on this soon 👀 But I'd highly recommend jumping straight into Security+, adding the others will just be a lot more $$$ that I personally don't think is worth it or makes a huge difference when hiring for security analyst roles.. Unless you're planning on starting in IT first, then this could be more relevant, totally up to you as the certs are great, but the $$ is the biggest blocker. The google certs are a great primer for both, and the Google cyber cert gives a discount for the Sec+ that you can use for your exam voucher, so do that first since it also helps prep you for Sec+. hope this helps and best of luck to you! :D
@@WithSandra im pursuing a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity but I want to keep my options open with other certs. I do agree that I have to spend alot of money if I take multiple certs instead of focusing on the ones that are relevant. Thanka for the heads up and looking forward to the next video
I enrolled for Springboard cybersecurity bootcamp, my start-date is September 9th. im very excited to start on my cybersecurity career😁😁😁 Wish me luck, also if there's any way i can get some advice on "learning cybersecurity best practices for success" that would be awesome 😁

It tells me the course are no longer available as they're already completed. Also, most of them are priced.

@@WithSandra Got it, thanks for the resource! Hands-on experience seems to be the main thing preventing people from getting hired.
Thank you for providing the very good news.
Hey where’s the link to your resume so I can buy it ?
Please i need your suggestion after 12th how i become a part of CEH and what to do after 12th in which course we can take or any other option also having please help me
What boot camp would you recommend? For a beginner??
Is there any good edge if going to cybersec from NOC engr? if Yes WHY?
Sandra, would you say a bachelor’s degree is at minimum something you should have to get into cybersecurity jobs?
Great courses
