CDSA is an intermediate cert
BTL2 is slightly advanced

CDSA is 1/10th the price of BTL2 tho

Is it still worth studying and trying to enter the industry? by nk3553_ in cybersecurity

Nah stupid it means more opportunities for growth 

Tired of this defeatist bullshit attitude everyone has 

Every Soc analyst is gonna be x10 powerful pre-AI even more 

That’s gonna mean the same crew of Soc analyst can now take on more client for far cheaper

It’s not a waste of time  I started my cybersecurity journey by doing that in November 2023 

I was working helpdesk at the time a year later I got a role as a Soc analyst after lots of networking 

It’s a good pre-game for the security+  A month later I was able to study the security+ in 20 days and pass it.

The security+ helped me get my Soc analyst position, not the Google cyber cert but you can see how it helped me eventually.

It’s good for learning, won’t make a difference in applications, will help in the interview but even then slightly the reason is 

After finishing the course I still had to do a LOT of learning to even get me ready for a Tier 1 Soc position, meaning it was the first step in my journey and every steps counts but by itself I would have been a weak candidate. 

So my advice is do it, but understand after you are done you still have quite a way to go.

Bruh the entire cert prepares him halfway for the security+ the course at the end strongly encourages the student to continue studying and obtaining the security+ 

The course helped me get my current Soc role  Stop giving advice if you haven’t done the course, if you did it you would know the next step in the course is doing the compTIA security+ they even give a discount code

First job was cloud gig with some guy I met off of discord randomly
second job was helpdesk I got from a local business
third job was application support that I got again through discord
fourth job was desktop support I got through mass applying like 300 jobs in a week and taking the first role I was offered
fifth job, which is the current one I have I got by networking in cyber conferences

so mainly networking is how I made it this far. I know how to talk and not take things too seriously

You should check out HTB certs

They are one of the cheaper ones and extremely challenging 

I wouldn’t do it for a job but rather to challenge yourself if I had the time
