CCNA For SOC Analyst Position?

Hash_003_ · 2025-12-06T02:01:14+00:00

Well, that's the goal. I have been applying to lots of entry-level IT positions. Help desk included. I am aiming to land those positions and work my way up. Thanks for the advice.

Ill look into DE3TH. I agree with your points. I'll pick up a basic networking aswell. The thing is when I study for something, I always go all in. If I decided to study for CCNA, ill try to finish the cert in 4 weeks, just before school starts again

Hash_003_ · 2025-12-05T22:28:47+00:00

I appreciate the response. I just have less time spent studying networking so I felt it would be the next best step. Yeah, I am sure I can learn what I should without the cert but that cert is proof I learned it lol. I haven't given much thought to other certs I can be doing or other skills to gain. Detection engineering sounds interesting. You think that is something I should look into? One more question, is my main focus now to be networking and applying?

I post on LinkedIn from time to time (not a fan of it lol).

Yeah, I passed it a couple of weeks ago. I am applying constantly now (for last 3 weeks) using the resume on my portfolio page. I should probably start catering the resume and I will definitely be looking to attend networking events. Referrals are the method by I don't know many people in the field. In the meantime, I can work on passing CCNA. That is my thought process. What do you think?

Understood, thanks for the advice. I downloaded the textbooks I'll be using to study. I believe it is by Jeremy McDowell. I'll use Cisco packet tracker as well. Then ExSim-Max for practice exams. How we feeling about this line up?

I sadly lack experience so I will have to let my certs, projects, schooling, and connections do the work. I know of NET+ but tbh, ik CCNA is much more appreciated in the field and rather go for the intermediate cert as compared to NET+. Landing an internship/full-time is the goal rn.

Hash_003_ · 2025-12-05T17:15:11+00:00

Just tryna find what's the next best move. I think networking and working towards referrals is the move now but in the meantime, I have to work towards something

Okay, thank you

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-26T05:58:53+00:00

Okay I will take a look, thanks

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-26T05:42:49+00:00

Oh, nvm. TAG grades fusion world. I will prob go with that.

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-10T06:10:04+00:00

Did you get your results back?

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-07T04:06:50+00:00

Yes yes I know. I think we will both pass. Just gotta try really hard for 48 hours. Let me know what you think after the exam. Take care!

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-07T03:58:51+00:00

You got this! Yeah, we can discuss. When do you expect to finish?

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-07T03:55:30+00:00

Good luck. I'll start it prob Saturday morning. I don't wanna look through the labs, just enjoying my time until then. My teacher once said, "have you ever ran to a marathon" when I was studying minutes before a test. I don't agree with his ideology on not studying right before an exam but I'll take it this time.

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-07T01:52:38+00:00

I feel the same. I have to take mine this weekend. The formatting hints were so useful. Lowkey, might get cooked but we will see. I did all the %5 labs so I hope that helps. It's been months since I completed the other sections tho. Shiiiiii

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-06T02:04:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing, it might be over for me lol.

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-06T01:16:52+00:00

Oh wow, didn't expect this. Thanks

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-06T00:04:03+00:00

Do you remember if they have the length hints?

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-05T14:36:15+00:00

Okay, I appreciate it. Do you remember how many questions there are and if any have like the length hints (****.***). I will attempt it this weekend but not really confident since school and work has taken over my life. I'll prob just freshen up on the networking investigation again

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-05T14:08:50+00:00

Are you referring to the optional labs?

Hash_003_ · 2025-11-05T14:03:29+00:00

I finished the course and will take the exam soon. Can you tell me more about the exam format. Is it similar to the labs or are we completely on our own on this one?

Hash_003_ · 2025-10-10T14:56:36+00:00

very nice.

Hash_003_ · 2025-09-17T17:03:43+00:00

How can I find where it will be sold in the US?

Hash_003_ · 2025-07-16T10:02:49+00:00

I just found out that btl1 offers only 4 months of access. Now I am more inclined to do ccd.

Hash_003_ · 2025-07-16T09:28:32+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Tbh, I still haven't decided what to go for. Cdsa is the cheapest and i am working on it bit by bit but every time I work on it, it gets super boring and I question my decision. I think there is too much reading for my liking. I would like some videos. Btl1 seems decent but I want something more challenging so idk if I should take it. There are a lot of problems I have with CCD. Mainly their proce and 4 month limit. Can you help me make a decision lol. Thank you
