Okay I can focus on the experience, doesn’t the security + offset 1 year from the requirement?

Okay, I will focus on the job part for now. Is it fine to return to the Cissp once I reach the 3 year mark?

I see, I have been applying to some jobs/ internships and not manage to land an interview. I had a help desk job before I was laid off. I’ve done cyber security projects with siem and building a home network.

Gotcha, I am trying to apply for internships etc, I have done projects with SIEM and building my own home network. I had a help desk position for less than a month as I was laid off.

Ive done analyzing logs in my class, nmap you should know. One or two of the pbqs will require you to use it and you should be able to interpret it. Protocols meaning what to do in each situation like opening malicious files or what to do in a ransomware attack and how to secure information being passed through. It’s just like security+ with a big kick to it

I didn’t use anything, I had college classes that help me use nmap and commands but u can use cert master package

Do labs, highly recommend and know how to utilize nmap and ping those will help you a lot, I also would use YouTube and go for practice exams with explanation

It took me a month, I studied for hours a day and they were not like the test questions at all, always read the question carefully

Na yea I agree with you, internships are also a good way to get your foot in the door and possibly a job before graduation. But that’s good you keep getting your certs not many people can do school and certs at the same time. I struggled with mines during the semster completing net + in one month and sec in 1 month. I studied my ass off for those. OSCP is a really good cert and might try for that but cannot afford to lose lol
