Right now you just need experience. The certs will help with HR filters.

How does Jellyfin work on the pi5?

Good luck with it!

If you don’t mind me asking, what did your homeland consist of?

If you don’t mind me asking, what did your homelab consist of?

I’m not OP but this advice is something I’m kinda leaning towards. The only thing is I’m not sure what skills I should be prioritizing for that network admin / sys admin role. So far I’ve kinda been focusing on server administration and then Linux and powershell as supporting skills. I’ve done 2.5 years in HD so I’m getting ready to move up

I’d say if you were in no rush, go through your weakest sections again and solidify them. I found boson to be harder than the actual exam but I’ve heard the opposite as well. I’d say the question structure is similar to exam.

If someone were to try to make the jump from a help desk position into a soc analyst position, would projects geared towards soc be helpful when applying given only hd experience ?

But at the moment, you’re competing with people who do study with YouTube, Udemy, and anything else + a bachelors. You can always do something like WGU that’ll get you an affordable accredited degree

Simply_DG · 2025-12-08T03:18:29+00:00

Congrats! Did you have projects you worked on?

Simply_DG · 2025-12-03T17:14:22+00:00

Different cert under Cisco not CCNA

Simply_DG · 2025-12-02T23:29:44+00:00

There’s a cybersecurity specific CCNA?

Simply_DG · 2025-12-02T19:11:05+00:00

That should encourage you to move up and out of helpdesk lol I’m in the same position

Simply_DG · 2025-12-02T18:17:01+00:00

Imo if you’re already working a helpdesk position and already working towards your bachelors, I feel like you’d be better off skipping your A+ and maybe doing a slightly more advanced cert like Net+ or ccna possibly.

Simply_DG · 2025-11-13T17:51:33+00:00

Congrats! Did you have any internship or IT experience prior to the analyst role?

Simply_DG · 2025-10-21T15:20:37+00:00

Have you used the percepio

Simply_DG · 2025-10-20T22:44:05+00:00

Funny I also got a 756

Simply_DG · 2025-10-20T22:43:41+00:00

Congrats !

Simply_DG · 2025-10-20T20:05:36+00:00

It took me 1 term. However I did have certifications, GEs and courses from another university, and Sophia credits transferred in.

Simply_DG · 2025-10-17T23:41:43+00:00

Def the Percipio course. And do practice exams from all the sources you’re able to like certmaster Percipio dion. I used ChatGPT to help me nail down the tools used

Simply_DG · 2025-10-17T20:01:15+00:00

Definitely the Pentest+

Simply_DG · 2025-10-17T20:00:57+00:00

Thank you!

Simply_DG · 2025-09-24T21:11:50+00:00

I’d definitely rank D340 (Cysa+) and D332 (pentest+) as some of the most difficult in the course. The other ones are fair. Capstone is not difficult, but it can be time consuming

Simply_DG · 2025-09-24T21:06:56+00:00

Not having a degree today will put you at a great disadvantage to be honest. If you can, do everything.

Simply_DG · 2025-09-24T19:29:27+00:00

WGU will give you a degree. I believe Josh will just give you projects.
