@megansjpegs: how i would get into cybersecurity if i had to do it all over again!! hi, i’m meg and i work as a sr. cybersecurity consultant at a large consultancy firm. i have worked in the industry for about 8 years, hold a MSc in cybersecurity, as well as CISSP and CCSP certifications. in case you don’t have time to watch the entire video, here’s a recap: - network! - find a mentor - get hands on keyboard skills (@TryHackMe , @hackthebox, etc) - create a home lab - check out the free @Microsoft Azure student credit and spin up your own cloud environment! - research the common vendors used by the companies you wanna apply to and learn about them/how they work/how to secure them! - make a BANGER resume and tie ALL of your experience (not just IT experience) back to cybersecurity - research commonly asked questions in interviews related to the role you’re interviewing for - make an extensive and well researched list of questions to ask your interviewer - BE CONFIDENT in your interview, but admit when you don’t know something and explain HOW you would figure it out - APPLY TO EVERYTHING! even if you don’t meet all the requirements in the job description. YOU NEVER KNOW!!! you’ve got this 🫶🏻 #cybersecurity #infosec #security #STEM #jobs

if i had to go back i would choose a different field tbh. Software engineer or data analyst into data engineering is way easier. more simple

What degree would you recommend to eventually land a job as a Cybersecurity engineer or consultant? Contemplating between CS or CIS 😭

As someone who’s been in the industry for over 15 years. She’s spot on. Only correction would be Infraguard. You need to have someone in Infraguard nominate you & get approved after background check by FBI.
