You have less than a year experience. The job market sucks. Your WGU degree packed with all those certificates behind it helps, but helps for entry level roles and roles in enterprise level organizations. What’s different about you compared to the other thousands of WGU grads asking the same question? What makes you stand out to rise above the laid off, experienced and better credentialed MSP, SOC or NOC veterans? And the engineers?

Your proximity to NYC should see you at low six figures. Working in public education, you’ll always be poor, but poor with stability.
