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.

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

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

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!
