    Looks like a good opportunity for someone to get their foot into Security. Would probably apply if it was near me. Wish I could get my wife to move to that area... MN winters are not fun.

    Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
    When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man.

    I am not familiar with this 'winter' that you speak of. :D

    I use my lunch break to walk on the pier everyday. Our office is minutes away from the beach.

    It seems there has been an explosion in Security position openings lately. I just accepted a position as a Security Analyst/Associate last week.

    If I wasn't in a lease and I could afford to move, I'd go for it in a heartbeat. I love Orange County and want to move back there at some point. Guessing the pay is probably in the 60k range?

    Forgive me if im wrong, but since when does anyone "fresh out of college" have 3 years of applicable infosec experience?
    I know if i was just outta college, id think the role was out of my league, but thats just my .02..

    Only possible way would be if you're doing internships. I have to do a minimum of 1 1/2 years of work experience as part of my comp sci degree program.

    You are forgiven :D

    I mentioned that a Jr Analyst description hasn't been provided yet so I posted the Info Sec Analyst requirements just as an idea of what someone will do when they grow beyond the "Junior" role. Apologies if I didn't make that clear.

    Thanks for taking the time to post this. I live in Huntington Beach and finished my BSIT from WGU a few months ago. I am definitely interested!
