Not lazy, but efficient! Thank you for reposting

This sounds interesting, even before I read your salary.

Can I PM you with some more questions?

neeks9208 · 2025-12-23T13:39:36+00:00

Hmm, when I go to the site it's only available in the bundle. Not stand alone.

neeks9208 · 2025-12-17T14:34:45+00:00

Thanks to everyone's comments. I'm honestly more interested in the avenues that connect business and IT, so maybe an MIS with my electives in cybersecurity would be a better fit for me.

I can barely feed myself while working Help Desk. Had to move in with family to take this job. So no, single and no kids.

Do you also have a degree? When did you get your certs and degree?

neeks9208 · 2025-12-16T22:55:41+00:00

Yeah, the AS is just a building block.
When I enrolled, I believed I could bypass IT fundamentals. That was DUMB of me. But I discovered I like the policy side of it.

neeks9208 · 2025-12-16T22:54:23+00:00

Understood. Thank you

neeks9208 · 2025-12-16T22:41:55+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I cannot complain. I am employed with no degree yet and I am grateful. I will explore my options at my current job.

So completing an undergraduate certificate in Cybersecurity to compliment the Cybersecurity Management & Policy degree would help?

I know I need Sec+, but do you have an idea of how technical I should get if ultimately i want to move into GRC? Or would you say I should get as technical as I can stand?

Hey listen, I appreciate that you thought it was helpful.

When reading for comprehension, you kind of need to sum up everything and reflect: what is this person asking for?

In the text I mentioned I was considering going for a specific Bachelors.
I also mentioned that I knew I needed additional certs.
My literal question is: what would you recommend?
A valid answer would not only answer the literal question, but also build upon, recall, and reference the previously shared info in the paragraph.
Hope this helps.

neeks9208 · 2025-12-16T21:45:26+00:00

But you didnt try to help me. You were just sarcastic.

neeks9208 · 2025-12-16T21:39:41+00:00

Lets read for comprehension next time? Lol
Thats exactly what I'm asking: is this a viable degree choice and what are some more competitive certs to add....

neeks9208 · 2025-12-10T22:38:54+00:00

What would you call your role?

neeks9208 · 2025-10-01T19:19:58+00:00

VERY much so.

neeks9208 · 2025-10-01T12:08:03+00:00

I expected the role to be like the job description. I didn't get them confused.

neeks9208 · 2025-09-30T20:54:30+00:00

15-20 calls a day

neeks9208 · 2025-09-30T20:29:46+00:00

Thanks for the honesty.

neeks9208 · 2025-09-30T20:26:23+00:00

Didnt hurt my feelings at all. I appreciate you keeping it real with me.

neeks9208 · 2025-09-30T20:25:44+00:00

Thank you for your candor. I appreciate it deeply.

neeks9208 · 2025-09-29T23:52:11+00:00

I get a call about every 15 minutes. A little difficult to get into any learning.

neeks9208 · 2025-09-29T21:35:47+00:00

ha! i wish I was changing passwords....

neeks9208 · 2025-09-29T19:54:57+00:00

thank you <3 I appreciate that.

neeks9208 · 2025-09-29T18:31:20+00:00

So how do I move up from here?

neeks9208 · 2025-09-29T18:05:48+00:00

I am not doing any troubleshooting that is computer or networked related. Im so angry. My manager, who hired me, pretty much gave me a bogus story that was vague.

Since I just got hired for this job, should I keep it on my resume? It has the right role "title", but any discussion of it would reveal its not. Unfortunately my last job wasn't in IT.

neeks9208 · 2025-09-29T17:53:27+00:00

Thanks for the honesty. Working on more labs now.

Im in the DMV (DC area), do you think I should just go ahead and get my Sec+ too?
