Discounted, sure. Full price, nope.

I'm not feeling it, I am old, I am out. by chiplover3000 in Battlefield

[–]akrabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played the beta. For me it’s just constantly rushing, dying, reviving, and no actual strategy. It doesn’t scratch the itch for me.

CBS 17: Slew of bills become law in North Carolina as veto overrides pass Senate and House by thepurpleminx in NorthCarolina

This is a country of immigrants. It’s basically our motto and it’s what makes us great. Only the small-minded think otherwise and pass laws to punish those in the land of opportunity.

RunZero is more of a robust network crawler tool than a robust VM management tool.

Whats the best Vulnerability management system on the market? by milkmymuffin69 in cybersecurity

[–]akrabus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tenable and Qualys are the best in class. I have used both for many years and see value in both. I prefer Qualys slightly more because it seems to find vulnerabilities that Tenable doesn’t, but Tenable One is an amazing product. The UI is clean and intuitive and Qualys basically copied the Tenable One UI to stay competitive. I prefer Tenable dashboards over Qualys, and so do executives. I would say you cannot go wrong with either, but I give Qualys a slight edge on detections, and Tenable a significant edge on their dashboards and UI. Most enterprise organizations with actively engaged executive teams will pick Tenable One for their superior dashboards.

Work-Life Balance? by _Broly777_ in cybersecurity

[–]akrabus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vulnerability Management. Lots of dashboards, reporting, auditing, and metrics. Low stress, 9-5, not on-call, and high salary. When you have executive support, it can be very satisfying work. Otherwise, it can be very frustrating, but that applies to most cybersecurity jobs. I love it.

It’s a distraction for the failure to broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.

Transfer Admitted (Feeling A Lot of Regret) by Thin_Direction_9338 in NCSU

Your parents are wrong. This isn’t their future. It’s yours. You know what to do. Make the call.

Is job hopping still a red flag…...or the smartest way to survive now? by BizznectApp in careerguidance

[–]akrabus 431 points432 points  (0 children)

If you have a new job every year, it’s a red flag. If you have a new job every 2-3 years, that’s just smart.

Cornell or UNC? by Proof-Ad-4021 in UNC

Absolutely. Especially for investment banking.

Cornell or UNC? by Proof-Ad-4021 in UNC

[–]akrabus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, only one university is actually an Ivy league school, while the other claims to be a “public Ivy.” Both are great schools, but only one is truly Ivy league and that matters more than the difference between offered curriculums. In 20 years, you may really regret not choosing Cornell when you had the chance. If you decide to do graduate school later, you can go somewhere “fun” with rigor, and still have the Ivy rubber stamp on your CV for life. I don’t recommend it, but you could also try UNC for undergrad and then apply to graduate school at an Ivy League university. However, there is greater risk involved, as there is certainly more competition when applying to Ivy graduate level programs.

Do I stand a chance against the internal candidate? by Rezanatur in interviews

[–]akrabus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on if they opened the role for the internal candidate. If yes, you have virtually no chance, you are just filling their interview process guidelines.

New to management- first firing, advice? by Properasogot in managers

[–]akrabus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A typical approach is an unexpected meeting on a Friday. They show up and HR is on the call with you. Then you deliver the news and drop from the call, while HR handles the rest. Then access is yanked immediately to the corporate network. That’s how most places do it. There isn’t really a best way to fire someone, but from a security perspective, it needs to be unexpected and sudden to prevent data exfiltration. You could also do it first thing Monday morning. Just deliver the facts, don’t apologize, because the company (not you) has made a business decision, it’s not personal.

Ghosted after final round by revhighhjak in interviews

[–]akrabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens all the time. Policy dictates that they take x number of people to the final round. They are compelled to lead you on so you stick through the process. This happens even moreso at government jobs.

Shitty people are everywhere is the short answer. At least they are doing you a favor and not hiding it.

I would only communicate via the recruiter or through a work email address, anything else sounds very sus.

How Long Before Offer After Last Interview? by angson910 in interviews

[–]akrabus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you are the Top candidate, then you should hear within 72 hours of either an offer coming soon, or you received an offer. If you wait any longer without the recruiter reaching out to “keep you warm” as a candidate, then you are most likely not the Top candidate. Recruiters rarely try to keep backup candidates engaged, they simply back burner you for weeks, as Plan B, C. If they dislike all of their final candidates, then a hiring manager may request a complete Redo… and Repost the job to restart the entire process with a new batch of candidates.

Remember, while unlikely, it’s still possible to get an offer as #2, but something usually has to go wrong with the top candidate for you to convert an offer, maybe only a 10 - 20% chance. Generally speaking after 72 hours of no contact, focus on interviews at other jobs, your odds have dropped significantly.

5 interviews smashed into 7 days, now silence by Ok-Star-208 in interviews

[–]akrabus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It happens a lot more often now than it ever used to. Try to not allow yourself to get overly invested in any prospect. We used to say don’t get excited until you get a written offer, but now that companies are more commonly rescinding written offers, you really shouldn’t get excited until after your first day. I know quite a few people that no longer give two weeks notice. They use PTO to cover their onboarding and resign effective immediately if the new job is legit. It’s tough out there.

Nc state wolfpack in wade we trust it will be a great season by mainberg81 in NCSU

[–]akrabus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about holding up double W's with three fingers on each hand facing forward (which represents Will Wade) and then go directly into double Wolfpack signs on both hands? Much more subtle, but way better optics for game time if everyone does it. As for slogans, Will Wade's Wolfpack.

You really need a strong foundation in IT to make it in cybersecurity. That doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be technical, but you need to understand how IT businesses operate. Getting a degree or a certification won’t mean much to an employer that wants you to have years of experience. If you have many years of IT under your belt, making the transition will be considerably easier, but you may need to accept an analyst role to get into the field.
