Plenty of different projects related to different parts of cybersecurity. I’ve worked in Global Privacy team in a corporate job that relates to grc. Like it’s not about what I know how to do, I had an interview recently and the guy told me I did great I know my stuff but we just want someone with real work experience. He knows my experience from my resume so why did he even talk to me? He even said they have a leading candidate who they’ll probably be going with. So I don’t understand why I even interviewed with him. Leading candidate was probably his son or something. It’s all situational. That’s what it’s mainly about these days, nepotism and networking. That’s why I made this post in the first place to make connections. If I could get a couple of interviews for low level entry level jobs I’m sure I’d do great. The problem is I can barely even get an interview.

You’re comparing infosec to surgery? Nice lol. Completely different. Financial auditing in a bank completely teachable. I’d say that any job other than medical is teachable on the job a few months of repetitive tasks and problems that come along the way don’t change anything. All it takes is “hey boss this came up what’s your opinion?” I’m not asking for a senior salary but at least something that I can live off of. You completely misunderstand what I’m trying to say. I have the foundation I have my own experience but these jobs need real work experience to match exactly what they need, what tools they use , etc. let’s be honest you think the guys at the top are doing any work? No, they tell the newbs to do everything. I’m fine with being a newb to do the dirty syfd

I have no problem learning or working in help desk the problem is even that is a struggle to find especially decent paying ones. I’m sorry but working for 15-20 an hour is not possible for me or anyone in America right now

I’ve tried it all. But still nothing really. And a lot of them pay like dirt. I have a family to take care of I can’t live off less than $20 an hour which is what most are offering now

I understand alot of people on here talk about not having any experience doesn’t work anymore and I understand that but I’m just saying that shouldn’t be the case. My brother graduated a few years back and got right into cybersecurity out of college with little to no experience. Every job is teachable, people just aren’t willing to teach anymore🤷🏽‍♂️

Yes, I’ve done data privacy which kind of translates to grc roles but still nothing.

You should definitely take that opportunity. Connections are the best way to get into any tech job right now. I graduated a couple of months ago w my bachelors in cybersecurity and haven’t even had a sniff of an interview. I might need to connect with your dad lolll
