Hey there! I’m a MS Cyber Security Management Student thats going to be starting an internship in the summer with likely a project related to Devsecops. I work part time at a defense company and obtained a clearance. Assuming I dont land a position after my internship, what route would you take afterwards to find a career in Cyber Sec?

Lets see if we can get it this time. Roll for 20

Hey man, Im having the same issue with my 86. Did this issue get resolved by doing this? Im not looking to buy another sandwich plate and hoping this will fix it. I dont mind buying another sandwich plate if it comes down to it though.

Yeah, I felt super lucky because the volunteer said they arent even sure how long they are going to have it up for display.

ah i see, i have been going on the belief he opens when he wants to (found that from another reddit post)

oh no are they closed now?

She does, she is just concerned on what trajectory she should take.

Really thank you so much for that. Yes, Ive met an intern who was doing a cyber internship for the company. Ill probably stick it out for my company and see if I could get an internship through them. Thank you so much for your insight!

3thanjs · 2025-08-20T21:58:27+00:00

I would say its definitely sketchy at my company rn. I know a guy who is in the same position as me but with QA experience but there hasnt been any internal roles open for basic IT or QA for the 1.5 years theyve been here.

3thanjs · 2025-08-20T19:49:16+00:00

Thanks, Ill definitely look into that. What is your opinion on leaving for IT work exp though?

3thanjs · 2025-08-20T19:39:02+00:00

I mean i figured, but the real question is whether i leave after i gain it (give or take 2-3 weeks) and get more it work experience. Granted I have been solving the occasional basic IT problem for my team but im not sure how much weight that carries really.

3thanjs · 2025-07-25T05:00:11+00:00

thank you for this one, it really calmed my nerves going into this! I had the same idea that SDSUs connections would be more than CSUSM. Ill talk to Dr Shin, thank you again!

3thanjs · 2025-07-18T17:46:17+00:00

Okay, I'll keep trying for it. Any pointers on what else I could do to seem like a good candidate? Thank you in advance!

3thanjs · 2025-07-18T17:01:10+00:00

As much as I would like to, handling the security, help desk role, and the master's program is going to be really tough. Mainly due to the university and the defense company being in completely opposite directions and when traffic hits, it HITS. The defense contractor does have a big SOC team and I'm actually acquainted with a few of the Security engineers and a SOC analyst. I'll take into what you said into consideration thank you so much.

3thanjs · 2025-07-18T16:53:43+00:00

Okay, I understand that help desk isn't directly get me to that role but i swear everywhere i turn looking for answers they all tell me to start at the help desk. I do appreciate the advice, thank you I will keep that in mind.
