    Mr. Unix Guy, just saw your video (just released 1 hour ago) and again, how informative with your step-by-step process that you map out for this career! You without a doubt Sir, are the best of the best! I love your knowledge, experience and tenacity! Keep those videos going as I always take away a chunk of knowledge from them that I didn't have before. The videos also provide motivation and determination to succeed as in my case! Just as simple as follow the path you provide and NEVER QUIT!!! Never listen to the toxic garbage, just keep going! In my world and prior career, you would most definitely be leading a Division of Investigators!!! Have an AWESOME day my friend! Joe

    I started off my cybersecurity career landing a remote GRC role straight out of boot camp. I already had a business and decided to take advantage of my training during the pandemic. I want to build on my technical skills. I've obtained several free certifications as a veteran and I plan to pivot to Cyber Security Engineer. Honestly, I was already comfortable in my business. I just really enjoy cybersecurity also.

    Hi, I completed your Cyber Security GRC course and added it to my resume. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world. I do hold IBM and Google cyber security Certs, however, it's been hard to find a job since I am transitioning from a healthcare career. Most jobs require CompTIA + Certs, and I am planning to take the exam soon.

      @UnixGuy  9 місяців тому +3

      Hi E. Blake, I emailed you today because you are the first person to complete the course so I wanted to hear your thoughts!
      Since you’ve just completed the course, it’s a good time to update the CV and start applying to jobs every single day (even if they ask for comptia, apply anyway). With your healthcare background and your recently acquired GRC knowledge, you will be an asset. I strongly believe you are very close to reaching your goal!

I do plan on getting more into security automation after I become proficient in AWS. I am also still trucking through the last few 6 classes at WGU and I still do some coding here and there in python to keep me familiar until I can deep dive into it.

    Oh thank you Guy to piss off the arrogant who trink that only university engineering is the must. I started with Google certification and nothing will stop me I really like I feel like Jeanne d’ARC of the web world and I don’t really want to go back the university to get the stuff. So thanks thanks thanks a lot for your work. Thumbs up 😊
    I don’t think I like automation it is sounds repetition. It still an unknown field for me but I looooove coding

      if you love coding, you’ll do really well! you can do the ‘automation’ training to learn more coding and you didn’t necessarily need to end up working in automation, but the skills that you will gain will be very helpful!

    Greetings. I've been watching serveral of your videos. I've been working as a Software Engineer and I want to move onto Cybersecurity but I want to keep coding, I love all about coding. In fact, what I want is to apply all the coding knowledge I have to Cybersecurity. Right now, I'm taking the Google Cybersecurity Analyst certification on Coursera, and I'm really excited to get to Automating things with Python. My question is: after finishing the Google Cybersecurity Analyst, can I directly move to the Automation Engineer Specialization. Would it be suitable?. Thanks for your top-notch content.

Some of the others who didn't make the cut could still have a career, you prep them for 4 weeks, (charge tuition) then run them through the regular bootcamp. This idea needs work, but you see what I'm saying. You expand the pipeline if you have the quality issue solved. I smell money.

    Thank you for always providing such useful advice and insights. I have been following your channel for a while now and have completed a majority of the guided projects and certifications you have recommended. I would like to know if I could put these certifications as experience on my CV or just projects? I have put the skills obtained in the skills section but Im having a dilemma if I should put the labs in the professional experience section. I have created a github and started putting my projects and certifications there. Coming from a non tech background, the only relevant experience that comes to my mind would be the Blue team level 1 exam. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
