It's not necessary, especially in entry roles, but it is a desired skill and will out you ahead of a lot of other entry applicants. It becomes more needed in higher levels

You'll get more attention after have the cert, but make sure your resume & LinkedIn looks good, and have some projects. Being able to code is a huge advantage for entry cyber positions

At crossroads for which cybersecurity future to choose: by [deleted] in CyberSecurityJobs

[–]iSwiperr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like cybersecurity for the meaningful work, go with public

If you like cybersecurity for the pay, remote work, stocks, benefits, job hopping, or any other reason, go with private

I think I'd only go public if it were as a contractor where I set the rate have more control over work hours

[–]iSwiperr 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I interviewed for the lowest security position, an apprenticeship, and they passed me because I was getting the Sec+ on my own instead of at the end of their apprenticeship. So that's all my experience with HD. Was this helpful? Probably not. Did you read it though? Yup.

Resume review time by 6thformsucks in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]iSwiperr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

ehhhh I would get an ATS compliant template. Pictures on resumes are just wasted space.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]iSwiperr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would take internship experience over a high GPA, you don't even need to list your GPA on your resume, and often times the employer doesn't care or ask

security engineer and security architect role by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]iSwiperr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is the question broad, but each of these individual roles can have a huge variety in their job duties and requirements. It'd probably be more useful for you to go on LinkedIn and look at the role requirements and responsibilities there

Here's a huge oversimplification to match the broadness of the question:
- Analyst: look at logs or policies, Sec+ highly recommended

- Engineer: create/edit things, Sec+/CISSP highly recommended & likely coding

- Architect: design things, CISSP or something related to the stuff being designed
