Re: Lots of frustration in my local IT job market lately.
Two critical points mentioned here. Critical. simply put, flexibility is one of the greatest things you need. If your environment isn't giving you what you need, you need to leave. This. When you get to where I am in my career, you'll get a variety of offers, and you may even begin to try to mentor others and try to get… -
Re: Attempting to begin a (hopefully) career in IT! Need all the advice I can get.
Certs are important in IT however not having the experince to back them up are useless and quite usually refered to as a Paper Cert. With so many areas to branch off to in this field you somewhat need a ballpark of what aspects interest you and pursue that avenue. For example. If you enjoy networking and working with the… -
Re: Study and Motivation
I counted seven... My CWNA was the most boring. It spent a lot of time with nitty-gritty details instead of actual configuration. I learned a lot about wireless, but it got very tedious. While I don't have the CEH yet, it's been a blast to study for. The Security+ was interesting too. Sometimes you just need to take a… -
Re: Your typical work day.
4:30AM - Wake up, shower, dress, etc 5:00AM - Leave for work before traffic 5:30AM - Arrive at work and park wherever 5:30-6:30AM - Hide out in the restroom and make myself presentable for work.

Re: Career path - Need some advice please

Re: Getting out of infosec.
That's a good point and one I'm working on now. I think my biggest issue is the company I work for. I'm not happy that my current employer doesn't seem to care to give me the time of day when posting for or expressing interest in internal positions and I've recently starting applying to a few targeted positions at other… -

Re: Can't Wait!!
First, I have to ask about the IDS 4200.....:) I think you should do FIREWALL first. SECURE is pretty boring imo and FIREWALL and VPN seem to be more exciting. CEH studies might make you CCNP:S more interesting since you will be able to tell the "why" and "hows" of implementing security which (imo) a big part of the… -
Re: Capitol Technical University Doctorate
I picked that school because of the proximity to Washington D.C., ultimately I'd like to be a senior/manager security analyst, and eventually lead to a CISO role. I know the doctorate doesn't exactly put me there but I feel that if it can assist where it claims to then it can help immensely. Currently I work in Security…
