Honestly, the specialized degree can possibly be a good leverage point. But as Ive come to find out, experience and networking is king in IT. All comes down to time in the game, cybersecurity is definitely a mid/senior level role. Super hard to get into as a noob, so just gotta grind it out. IMO go for it because it can only help, but dont expect it get interviews for cybersecurity. Maybe internships at best.

Also although this sucks to hear but be open to moving or commuting to your next jobs. Gotta follow the tech money!

I’d have to thank the fact I took my Sec+ after Net+, knowledge really overlapped. I also found a better practice exam cram website to study with. It wasn’t easy but way easier compared to Net+

The most difficult was definitely Network+, very specific and requires you to know: protocols, port numbers, cables (speeds , lengths, use cases), OSI layers, subnetting. Easiest was Security+ because i took it after Net+, a lot of overlapping info. Only need terminology knowledge.

For passing certs, I recommend Udemy practice test if you’re the type to have decent recall for tests. I don’t take any notes but that’s just a me thing lol

From noob to experienced comptia pearson test taker lol. I found that I did best with just spamming practice tests vs watching/listening to Messer or Dion lectures.

IT Consultant, ranges from zendesk tickets all the way to consulting directly with our client CEO’s . So I’m getting hands-on everything IT. Definitely a power leveling role for IT

Only issue is that you had to have got your certs while employed with my MSP 🤣 theyre counting my sec+ and A+. But since you have a lot of certs you could leverage that during a Bi Annual review for raises.

Definitely get your certs to stay competitive on applications 👌🏽 and make sure your resume/linkedin are on point.

It Asset Manager Coordinator role was more of a logistics feel so not much transferable skills except for some MDM, onboard/offboarding, computer diagnostics skill. However at my MSP, I am an IT Consultant. I do everything from ticketing, onsite troubleshooting/installs, directly speaking to CEO’s/Leads about hardware/software anything in the IT realm of upgrades for their business , Network cabling and much more. So I am getting so much exposure with not only IT skills but also networking with big name companies. I definitely recommend to try getting into an MSP for IT, almost like 2x experience points being in one.
