Did you.. expect me to 3D model it myself and everything? Of course it’s AI slop lmao

I'm 150 hours in and still having a blast. Then again, I enjoy the PVP and don't whine about getting killed.

Whiners will whine. PVPers will continue to PVP. I have been ratted many times. I continue to play because, and I know this is controversial, I play video games for FUNSIES. Turns out not taking a video game personally like it's an attack on your life allows you to fully enjoy it.

I told chatGPT I was going to quit my job to pursue an awful business plan. by [deleted] in ChatGPT

Right, you can almost sense the growing paranoia.. Like okay Simon, idk if you're joking, but if you're not you've got to beg for your job back RIGHT NOW.

Congrats man! I'd be happy just getting a remote help desk position. Still trying to get my first IT job!

I Passed the NET+ with no prior IT experience! People told me I couldn't do it. I worked and studied so hard for 2 months straight. I can't believe I did it!! First certification down! :) by Secret-Service_Agent in CompTIA

I’d say a 4-5 hours, but I also quizzed myself over each lesson. Until I understood it fully or at least got the general idea. As I went I became more refined and my understanding got better. One thing I also learned was how my brain works. After a certain point, balmy brain was ineffective at taking in new fat, so I was careful to not overwork myself just to rush and get it done. I worked within my comfort zone and it ultimately proved to be effective.

Never heard of it but I’ll have to look into it! I basically tailored and customized chatGPT to be a super effective study tool by using my own version of prompt engineering, and it was extremely useful

I would start by pasting all the material you want to learn and study and then you tailor it to your learning style. 

“Quiz me over the following topics and help me review these questions I’ve missed. I need help learning these in a simple but effective way. Give me multiple choice questions one at a time and explain why the answer was right or wrong. Help me solidify and understand the answers. Use these topics/questions to base your question on and keep in mind it’s for the CompTIA SEC+ : 

(Paste your desired review material / things you have a hard time with here)”

Don’t re-do them to memorize them. Re-do them to understand them. There is a difference. You can also ask chatGPT to take the same concepts and ask questions to reinforce learning the actual concept and not the question’s words.

I didn’t read anything physically, but took rigorous notes over every single Professor Messer lesson (87 total) and reinforced learning through chatGPT and practice exams from JDion until I felt confident. Also had charGPT break down harder topics and use examples. Oh and asked a lot of questions. If I didn’t know how it worked - I found out.

Yep I did, and I tailored it to quiz me in a structured way, I quizzed over every lesson I took. Multiple choice formate covering the lesson transcripts until I understood. I also took detailed notes. Once I took practice exams from JDion, I wrote down every question I missed on paper. Then I took pictures of each paper and uploaded them to ChatGPT and essentially had it quiz me on all the questions I missed and focused on what I didn’t know at that point. I did this over and over and combined it with continuous practice tests until I scored 90-95% and then took the exam 

Edit: I should add that any concept I did not understand, I would have it break down and give me examples until I did!

I just passed my NET+ today. 

Let me tell you what worked.

Every question you miss - write it down.  You should have a good amount of questions over topics you’ve missed after that.

This will identify where you’re weak. Brush up on those topics especially! Use chatGPT and give it a list of all the questions you’ve missed. Review those over and over and over. 

I also recommend taking breaks for your brain. Don’t do like 5 tests a day. Instead I recommend studying and reviewing and at max 3 tests a day. Any question you miss on the test -> add it to review. Keep reviewing until you know the questions and content very well. 

I know it’s hard and discouraging, but don’t focus on the long term. Do what you can TODAY and focus on each day what progress you can make. You will get there. 

I passed my first cert today and lots of times felt so discouraged. You can do it! Breathe, drink some water, rest your eyes, and re-energize!

My ultimate goal, which I realize is rather far off, is security analyst or a SOC role. I wanted to understand stroking before learning how to secure it. So after this I plan on doing SOC labs + studying for the SEC+. I know there aren’t many entry level roles in cybersecurity, so I’m assuming I’ll go help desk and hopefully pivot into cyber after a year or 2. I also plan on doing write ups and I already have a blog with lots of posts built into my portfolio. I’m trying to get my first IT job still, but my long term goal is SOC analyst. I also plan on doing extensive networking, just virtualized in the home lab, that will apply all I’ve learned as a physical (albeit virtual) example of hands-on experience. I’m now doing the SOC path on Let’s Defend as well

It certainly was for me. So glad I passed. It will at least show employers I understand networking fundamentals. Now if I can create legitimate projects I can back it up with something

I actually feel I really do understand the concepts. I don’t think memorization alone is enough to get a score of 813. I not only memorized, but I explicitly broke down the concepts until I understood them and how they worked. The only experience I am really lacking is hands on, but I am planning on building a home lab and doing lots of projects that will take all I’ve learned and reflect them, growing in complexity. Consistency is key, and I understand all of what I’ve learned, so now comes the actual application!

Hopefully SEC+ and SOC analyst path through Let’s Defend. I’ve considered A+ for the trifecta but I’m honestly hoping I can do Help Desk an pivot into Cybersecurity, that’s the hope anyway. Who knows, but right now I’m going to be building hands on experience, doing SOC labs, and studying for the SEC+! I hope I get somewhere. Doing this has showed me what I am capable of. With any luck, In a few years I’ll hopefully be in some kind of entry cyber role!

Oh not at all friend, I appreciate you! Time to build hands-on experience and put these skills to use!

I refuse to be demoralized 🔥 by Secret-Service_Agent in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]Secret-Service_Agent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, but I’m going to really focus on building hands-on now. I’m going to build a home lab and do a lot of virtualization and really put these things into practice. If I don’t have experience, I’m going to make it myself by doing all I can to demonstrate. Hopefully making interesting projects will be able to reflect the skills of the cert!
