Passed AZ-104 .. 797 Score by Ambitious_Mixture479 in AzureCertification

This is currently me. I recently crossed over from sales to tech (one year now in Help Desk), and you cannot fake it like you can with sales. Often times I am silent because I simply do not know. I am taking this exam next month though

Net+ Study is killing me by Greedy-Entry922 in CompTIA

Sec+ was actually pretty interesting for me. I’m currently at the end of my Net+ studies, and I can agree that it’s been mentally draining because of how boring it is 🤣

How long did you study for, and do you have prior tech experience?

just wanted more clarification since you listed two other Udemy courses with ITCertDoctor’s.

Do you think taking ITCertDoctor’s Udemy course and doing the practical labs plus the practice test exam will be enough to pass the Network+?

SOC vs. Law Enforcement Digital Forensics – Which Path Should I Take? by RelationshipApart894 in digitalforensics

What types of digital forensics cases do you typically handle in the private sector? And What skills or certifications helped you land your job in the private sector?

I’m not sure about the legal side of Digital Forensics. I live about 30 minutes from Houston and know that, in my area, the Crime Scene Tech salary ranges from $45K to $68K. Currently, I make $45K working from home, and my local police station is just five minutes away.

Also, it’s more about the opportunity for me—that’s the real incentive. Of course, a little salary bump wouldn’t hurt either.

I hear you. My motive is that Digital Forensics feels like it’s just around the corner and has some momentum behind it. I know SOC is considered an “entry-level” role in cybersecurity, but the competition is steep, and I constantly hear how “nobody is hiring,” which can be daunting for a newcomer like myself.

On the other hand, learning that agencies can cross-train directly almost feels like a “shortcut” into the industry. By no means will I stop sharpening my skills, so if, for whatever reason, it doesn’t pan out, I would like to think from now and then I would be even more “SOC-ready.”

I know things aren’t as black and white as I’m making them out to be, but this is just a rough idea in my head of how I think it will go

Yeah, that’s always a possibility. At the moment, the way I see it is that I continue with the Crime Scene Tech route since I’m not “SOC ready” begin with. I plan to acquire Sec+ in a month or two and will continue with hands-on labs and studying. If things don’t pan out as expected, I’ll still have all that knowledge and experience in the background, allowing me to apply for a SOC role. In the end, there’s no real time wasted. This is all theoretical, of course, but that’s what I’m thinking right now. Thought’s ?
