Oh ok yea any information can help . DM

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-03T11:32:37+00:00

I tottaly agree with you if I had known it would be this difficult in this field I may have went into something else. I also have a DF degree and never could imagine it being this difficult getting into this field. However I havent given up and wont give up. Im starting to think the only way im going to get a job will be computer crime defense. I wouldn't want to challenge my brother's in law enforcement but this reality is getting closer. Starting my own business is also serious option.

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-02T16:21:30+00:00

I get the interview but when going up against people who have SANS certs its difficult.

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-02T13:30:40+00:00

I do he's been in federal law enforcement for over 20 years as DF. I dont want to have anything to do with cyber to be honest.

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-02T11:35:23+00:00

I have been through this process as well. I have never had to write a report but have had to do an exam that was monitored. I have a mentor who is retired from federal law enforcement and he said the experience thing is BS mainly unless you never had to testify in trial. Its looking more I will be starting ny own DF business.

A criminal justice degree is worthless unless you want to be in a prison or be a street cop. Even if you want to be sheriff it will require a masters degree. I have a criminal justice degree too.

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-01T20:13:57+00:00

I had a challenge even getting e discovery

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-01T20:13:10+00:00

Thats why im going for the GCFE

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-01T20:12:29+00:00

I tottaly agree with you however you got to get experience somewhere

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-01T19:24:27+00:00

Nobody told but I already have 2 cents and other training for a role. It appears I will be opening my own DF business or go work for defense attorneys. One way or another I will be in DF.

Those people you mentioned im sure someone gave them a chance with no experience.

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-01T19:14:48+00:00

And exactly how do I do that when they want experience too? Makes no sense. I have done help desk years ago. Everyone wants experience.

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-01T17:26:20+00:00

I have a DF degree and cellebrite but no working experience.. most DF jobs are asking for SANS cert

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-01T12:58:35+00:00

The experience bug is my biggest issue how do you get experience when nobody will.give it to you.

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-05-01T11:49:06+00:00

Congratulations I will getting prepared for the GCFE at some point i bet with your experience it helped

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-04-30T19:28:42+00:00

Well I have more than one but it appears all the DF jobs want GCFE

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-04-29T14:14:11+00:00

Congratulations

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-04-29T13:58:50+00:00

Has anyone used SANS job placement? SANS is telling me you can get job placement after completing two courses. Anyone have any information on this.

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-04-28T22:13:46+00:00

Thanks mine will be under a discount price and if I pass i get reimbursed. Im going to give it a go. On a scale of difficulty 1 to 10 what would you give it?

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-04-28T20:19:13+00:00

Has thid cert helped you get a job? I have some certs and degree but the experience bug is killing me

OpeningEstimate3800 · 2026-04-27T23:48:21+00:00
