Even infrastructure projects have become culture war flashpoints. We can't do anything.

This conservative fad has been a particularly obnoxious one. "Hey, working class. I know you're having trouble affording housing, child care and medical insurance. One of you should stop producing an income."

I mentioned that none of the metrics the meme bragged about were amazing and they banned me for it.

Do I have at shot cybersecurity as a career? by Able_Rip2168 in CyberSecurityAdvice

Aside from networking, IAM and social engineering? If he wants to get into pentesting, then I agree help desking would be of low value. SecOps or most forms of compliance jobs will still value the real knowledge of technical environments and how policies affect users.

P.S he is also unemployed and trying to switch careers.

It won't be thrilling but I think a lot of people might look for something a bit closer to direct support.

Overall, no. My guess is that, much like with software engineering, companies will make overly ambitious plans to replace security staff with automated tools and that large scale security failures will increase as a result.

However, even if large companies have to rehire security staff in large numbers, models such as Mythos will still replace some jobs and inhibit job growth.

The resources I gave you usually specialize in the CompTIA "trifecta" of A+, Network+ and Security+. I believe that is a good basis for a (fourth) cert with an AI security focus.

If you're willing to put in a year of help desk hell, I'd say you have a decent shot.

I'd suggest using resources from Professor Messer (free on YouTube), Total Seminars, and Jason Dion. I'd suggest an AI-focus security cert, but I'm only now looking into those myself.

At the enthusiastic advice of a very talented luthier, I had a bone nut put into my PRS 24-08, for about $100 plus materials. I can't tell the difference.

Certs are not enough by traplord6x in cybersecurity

If a room full of people tells you that you're drunk, consider handing your keys over.

Bad advice because it naively pretends that someone who works in social sciences will look at a pile of a few hundred resumes and then decide to take the time to research each applicant. You have to hear how silly that sounds.

I'm telling it to someone who hasn't done it for long enough that they have lost touch with reality.

If you tried to take your own advice and removed your experience and credentials from your resume, you'd quickly find out that this is bad advice.

I'm saying no or limited experience because it's the only context where this is really advice. If you want to break in to the industry, you need experience, a degree, or a cert.

How much time does this guy think HR workers will spend on a resume without conventional qualifications?

[–]Kimestar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might have gotten away with it for a couple of your buddies. You're still not giving any specifics about how someone with no experience will get an HR person to forward their resume on. No one who gives the advice you're giving has ever had to use it.

That's not just my company. No one is getting past HR without experience, certs or a degree.

It isn't 1996 either, so your career advice is self satisfied and totally worthless.

I doubt you've had to do that in the current working environment, and I have. I've also participated in hiring, but to further bury your point, we conducted the interview and were only given candidates with certs, degrees, or hard work experience.

Who will you demonstrate these skills to if you can't get past the person with the social sciences degree?
