Lol I was working for Playstation, and I had to do all 4 of these in my daily tasks. Get good at everything ppl

I’ve gotten my Google Cybersecurity Professional Cert, ISC2 CC & I take my Security + at the end of this month. I’m really leaning towards GRC since I also have a Criminal Justice Bachelors Degree & can simply get a masters at WGU. Technical Skills have definitely been put on the back burner for me 😭😭 great video & recommendations btw 🙌🏽

I just passed my ICS2 last week, it is still free but don’t fool yourself it’s not so easy. It’s not just about knowing the five domains but requires critical thinking.

Yup, I just asked the CISO. Ate crap for a few years and was the go-for. Helped coming from IT. It’s a great field if you can stomach the work and hours.

I came here to see the young talent shine ✨

I recently became a cybersecurity analyst (Identity & Access Management) at my company after 4 years of help desk and desktop support and what really helped me was shadowing the IT Security and putting myself out there so my current boss gave me an opportunity as a position for security analyst opened on her team.

making a video like this without timestamps is absolutely insanee

Well done!

This is was helpful! Thank you

I'm looking forward to getting the macbook because i start schoolin August❤

Hey Markel, I appreciate your video and the gems dropped. The question I have is, how do you recommend building a portfolio? I actually landed an IT role without most things and considered myself lucky and blessed. But now I don't know how to practically apply myself to grow with better roles.

Good content

Nice content

A real question: how would I make the transition from trucking into Tech or cyber? Went to school for IT for almost 10 years. Six months in the school closed, vanished. So I went to work, long story short got all my endorsement now I make 110k a year. So now I have a lot down time and I'm back figuring out should I jump back and if I do , How? And how do I make the equivalent if possible? Through all these videos, I'm starting to see a different reality of along path where I have to fight for a job, where as a driver I'm in demand every where I go. Should I take a boot camp at Thrive or 4 year degree while I work?

Hey I really enjoy your videos! I'm about to watch your most recently posted one, and honestly I've learned a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and please post more!! You're doing great. Just landed an entry level IT job that's actually training me for my CompTIA A+ exam; that starts June 17th. And then my anticipated start date for WGU is July 1st!

Great video.

Thanks! Nice video, but with 0 experience why do Nuff people say I should start with ComptiA+, Security +, and then Network? That creates a lot of confusion sometimes. And some say if you start with Google cert you still have to take A+. Anyway am looking to start from scratch so I can get a help desk job then I'll work my way up there.

17:04 Damn that's a bar.
