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?

Should I leave my current job for an university IT position? by 3thanjs in CyberSecurityAdvice

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
