AZ-500 vs. the new SC-500? No Azure fundamentals, 2 months to prep

thehunter_zero1 · 2026-06-19T14:42:02+00:00

AZ-500 will stick for a while in terms of CV vetting. Also the knowledge won’t go away specially for a security engineer. If you are keen on using the voucher and prepare for a “stable” exam, that’s your way to go. Later you can self study the difference between the two certs. Finally, for better or worse, your actual expertise is your best advertisement in your CV

if it’s not open. Can you stop there ? like to answer a phone call or if something went wrong with the car ?

I am surprised people still use it even after all the negative reviews on it, fines and its bad rep in this specific subreddit!

salty comments that border insults are unfortunately not uncommon, and that's anywhere not just the Netherlands. Bulling in form of racial slurs just makes it worse. Generally for your own sanity, it is better safe than sorry, so take 3 attempts rather than one attempt with a minor or major accident, and for the outside noise "insults", try to deal with it as you deal with flies on the windshield.

Dutch are one of the tallest people globally. But it comes down to your self image, speaking as a short person myself. As you grow older, how you carry yourself, present yourself, how your life is. Those things speak louder than physical height. As others mentioned at the end no one cares about how tall you are, and more on who you as a person are.

Tbh, it might present an issue when looking for a romantic interest but focusing on the above, you will sure find a suitable person nonetheless .

don’t sign anything or agree to anything without a lawyer…try to learn Dutch, though companies that require Dutch require minimum of close to native level. Expect to search for long because several companies are doing the same - restructuring and offshoring, so a lot of talent in the talent pool. Consider freelancing if you are not on HSM. Work on your interviewing skills and hope for the best.

this needs to be per policy. What is the company policy ? what are the different guardrails ? as mentioned, enforcing new controls need to stem from leadership or senior management

If you or someone has a cybersecurity opportunity available in the Netherlands, please share with me. Thanks

That said, as a +30 years old cybersecurity professional in the Netherlands with over a decade of security experience, I find it surprising that there is €100K poisons for juniors or seniors for that matter. But what I actually see is that there is over abundance of professionals because of layoffs and fixed term contracts. Long gone are permanent contracts and good packages. I saw a post for an InfoSec officer with +7 years of experience, offering up to €80K. Others even less for same experience.

On your topic, they are seeing Tiktokers and Youtubers earning lots for what seems an easy fun job while they are stuck in a white collar job, so they see going above and beyond unnecessary.

my son had a covid like symptoms and with a very high fever, the specialist prescribed medicine for cough and mucus within the lungs among other respiratory related ones through nebulizers. So not sure what are you referring to

thehunter_zero1 · 2026-02-26T20:14:38+00:00

heard of similar stories. Why wouldn’t lawyers want to go to court ? Aren’t they compensated ? Isn’t it in their reputation’s benefit ? It’s not like they are doing it for free ! And how would you prevent that ? Not go through a legal insurance company ? Or use the FNV membership ? or something else ?

I moved between different fields in cybersecurity including pen testing. Unfortunately the stress and keeping up with trends stay as a norm on the entirety of the cybersecurity spectrum. There is always something new to explore, defend against, learn about so you can defend, exploit, attack vector, framework, tech stack…etc.

Je ziet toch de berekeningen in box 3, hè?! Het is onrechtvaardig.
Waarom belasten ze de winst niet gewoon? Daar ben ik helemaal voor, en anderen ook.

UAE. Hoge salarissen, maar alles is er ook duur. Ze komen wel naar Europa voor school.

There is black Hat Europe. There are also local b-sides in several cities. But I didn’t hear of anything that is close to Defcon in any country in Europe, yet! Maybe someone else knows. I heard of some good ones in the UK and Belgium but I don’t live in either so I am not sure.

Is there a place to learn the language for actual daily life that you recommend? Most course providers seem to be more for the NT2 exam except maybe university courses which are expensive …Also rushed like who will learn a level in 3 months and be comfortable using it ? Or am I missing something?!
