    She is right when it comes to vulnerability management. You must have good communication skills to motivate the team to the sense of urgency having workstation and servers patched.

    2:51 One of the best pieces of advice you can ever give. This could be applicable to other fields, but in cybersecurity, there are so many aspects to learn. If you can help, then help that person understand that issue or principle. People gatekeep information to not work any harder than they have to or to claim "job security." It's wild out here in cybersecurity. 🤣😆

    I like that you guys started with telling people to be helpful to new comers because I actually switched from
    networking to Software dev because when I got to my first MSP which was small and family owned….I came across rude and unhelpful coworkers. I believe they did not want another person in their three man team so they barely spoke to me and showed obvious hesitation when I would ask for help even knowing I had no experience except for self taught knowledge. It was a nightmare. So much so that I went back to truck driving and self taught myself a coding language. I still have dreams of eventually getting into cybersecurity but I will spend some time as a backend dev using python and SQL.

      Also, the work is super repetative and you will go through a lot of false positives.
      So besides stress/burnout you also have boreout factors.

The guy was a jealous jerk, he didn't want to train the new onboards on certain processes and I was one of those onboards what pissed him off about me is that I hit the ground running as they like to say in tech. I was taking ownership and closing tickets in my first week I'm experianced what did they expect? Anyhow, we didn't get along he picked at me for one last time and i let him know about himself. He had a relationship the manager so she kept him and I lost my job even though there were people who had my back.
