Just got promoted

Hey all. I'm relatively new on here but I attribute much of my success to the information I've read on these forums. Without your guidance and advise I would not have moved up as quickly as I have. Anyway I just got promoted to a mangement position. (Information Security Manger).

Some background info on me. I graduated from college this past spring with a degree in IS. Prior to my senior year I got an internship at my current company and was lucky enough to do some infosec work a nuclear project we had. This translated into a fulltime position in another department at the same company and now 9 months later the promotion came. I thought my age would work against me since I'm so young but I believe my visibility with upper management and the work I've been doing opened some doors for me.

Anyway, Thanks a bunch to all those that make threads asking questions because 90% of them are questions that I have myself. My plan going forward is to get my CISSP by then end of January and maybe CCNA Voice.

    Congrats broli icon_cheers.gif

    Just curious since you say you just graduated college, does that put you at age 22-24 in a management position?

    @Isud00d yep just about. Granted I'm not managing a lot of people but to get this type of experience this soon is really more than I could ask for.
