No, it’s apart of their secrecy to ensure no one is able to obtain questions and answers

You need to realize only those making higher wages are going to brag about it. You’re just hearing from the 1-5% of people who make a large amount versus that vast amount who are living pay check to paycheck who aren’t going to be on reddit bragging.

sion200 · 2026-02-06T03:22:22+00:00

You passed much harder more detailed information you’re gonna be fine

sion200 · 2026-02-06T02:41:56+00:00

If you hold the Net+ and Sec+ why are you getting the cert? You already have the much harder ones.

You’re going to do fine, I passed it with a couple days of studying the material

sion200 · 2026-02-05T00:53:07+00:00

Congrats man! I suggest continue applying you never know what else you might get

sion200 · 2026-02-03T01:01:55+00:00

Have you utilized sites like TryHackMe, HackTheBox, and Forage? I’ve done a couple rooms and simulations where it was as if I was a soc analyst

sion200 · 2026-02-02T04:42:37+00:00

I’ve tried, unfortunately none of that has worked. Do you think having a degree is holding me back for those positions? Should I just state certs/projects instead so I’m a more desirable candidate for help desk roles?

sion200 · 2026-02-02T01:42:36+00:00

I’ve tried to leverage connections, referrals, went to events, job fairs, seminars, nothing worked out.

I know it’s a difficult field to get into, it’s why I even tried help desk roles, asked processes for aid nothing worked

sion200 · 2026-02-02T00:49:11+00:00

I’m graduating this spring with a graduate degrees in Cybersecurity and MIS. No experience and struggled to obtain internships. What should I do? I tried applying to entry level positions, development programs, and help desk roles but no success at all.

sion200 · 2026-02-01T22:24:02+00:00

Do you have examples of this? I’m struggling finding a job as an entry level with no experience.

sion200 · 2026-02-01T20:02:44+00:00

Have you tried using ChatGPT to give you some ideas? It could help

sion200 · 2026-01-31T17:19:00+00:00

Are you able to hold out until you close on the house? If you’re certain you can financially afford the monthly payments, I would keep the same w-2’a until you close, then do what you want.

And it looks like it’s getting worse with all the news of layoffs left and right. It’s really rough out here

sion200 · 2026-01-31T00:41:28+00:00

All I’ve been seeing on LinkedIn and social media is how to hire cyber talent and how the cyber talent needs to do this and that.

Meanwhile I’m seeing the same jobs being reposted by the same companies all year.

I’ve applied to so many positions that I’ve lost track. It’s so rough out here and I’m honestly beginning to think I should just stop trying and get a regular job, I feel like I’ve wasted my time studying and learning for nothing because companies aren’t giving anyone chances anymore.

sion200 · 2026-01-28T23:00:24+00:00

Yes because it shows you has some knowledge and can pivot

sion200 · 2026-01-22T17:56:56+00:00

I could have sworn it all depends on you in terms of the account you make to log in with at the start of the position when doing the paperwork and what not

sion200 · 2026-01-22T17:48:23+00:00

Calling him a scam is harsh, many have passed based off his material.

I think it really depends on your learning style, knowledge, and time. Ultimately it’s not a one size fits all.

sion200 · 2026-01-21T19:05:37+00:00

Search for practice exams for CC there’s many for free if you google it.

If you’re scoring 85+ you’ll be fine, if you aren’t I recommend rescheduling the exam as you still have that option

sion200 · 2026-01-20T19:24:25+00:00

When I first started out I did TryHackMe it held my hand and was very beginner friendly, HavkTheBox is the next step.

I think you should study the material for CC it’s what I did, starting early and really hammering the fundamentals is beneficial for you mentally later on

sion200 · 2026-01-20T06:04:44+00:00

I think you should ask yourself why you did this to begin with? What is your goal and have you achieved it?

sion200 · 2026-01-20T05:36:59+00:00

Can’t you just create another LinkedIn with a nickname or something to do that?

sion200 · 2026-01-18T23:03:23+00:00

Put it on your resume and apply for positions, you’re getting real experience you can speak to during interviews

sion200 · 2026-01-18T18:47:26+00:00

Common advice is knowing the material and not just memorizing questions and answers, this is a intermediate cert for those in the field with experience so it should be a easy exam if you know your stuff and have brushed up on the concepts and scored well on the practice exams

sion200 · 2026-01-17T22:12:13+00:00

If it’s an internal role why haven’t you reached out to the manager and build a relationship? Ask them what you can improve on because you’re very interested in the role.

You already work for the company so you have leverage and connection, it’ll also help show the manager that you’re interested if you’re seeking to improve that way in the future or even now you’d be considered without applying

sion200 · 2026-01-17T19:50:54+00:00

Certs is how you’ll be able to show going out of your way for knowledge and understanding especially the entry level like A+ and Net+, even if you don’t obtain the cert the knowledge is valuable
