Re: Improving current skills vs learning new skills
I look to upgrade skills that can transfer easily, and would lead logically to my next position. Scripting lends itself well to anything admin related. Advancing AD knowledge is always smart, as Windows is not going away from Active Directory anytime within the next few years. I would advise going after the scripting. If… -
Re: Certifications for Salespeople
Generally you're going to fall into either the sales representative/account manager or sales engineer role. If you were a sales rep for security product/service xyz, I'd be the type of person you'd be selling to since I'm currently responsible for researching, evaluating, and recommending the purchase of security solutions… -
Re: Balancing Certifications & Revisions
@docrice I second you that these days, a day just don't have enough hours. There're too many subjects & books to pick up & go over again. Plus more subjects to study & get certified in. :) I don't understand what you mean by stretching self too thin though... @N2IT It's challenging to keep up and I love every moment of it.… -
Passed on 5/21, first attempt, a few thoughts
A lot of lists of how people studied on here. I will give a bit of what I did but I didn't go through nearly the effort most have and really want to say a few things about the exam and how I managed my time and worked my way through it. The main source of study for me was a boot camp. I went to one of the trainingcamp boot… -
Re: Please Help! - Schooling/Careers
40K for an associate's degree? Yikes. I need to start my own for profit tech college if they are pulling in that kind of tuition! I'm sort of where you are trying to get (full time employment in computer security), though my job is more aligned with risk management frameworks and auditing and much less aligned with… -
Re: Negotiating wages in current company
Are you going onto the company directly or are you going to hired as being an outsource? This is very important, because there is little benefit being in an outsource company. The recruiter will absorb in 30% of your salary and let you left with peanuts. If you are going direct, then the direct company shoulder the payment… -
Re: Those Having Trouble with Sims/No Routers/Simple Exam Questi
First off, congratulations on the pass. Good to see you got the ICND2 knocked out and that you're a CCNA. Second, I wanted to address some of the comments you'd made about the forum and your complaints that people don't answer simple questions. With the exception of a few, there really isn't anyone here that's going to… -
Re: Please help me decide bachelors degree !!!
Yeah Drexel isn't cheap, but on the east coast they are extremely well known. Besides someone has to pay for our expansion into California! My program was great because you can transfer just about everything you had from an Associates program and I believe they will give you credit for three courses that relate to a… -
Re: Norwich Online BS in Cyber Security... Thoughts?
Hello. I am a long time lurker of this forum and have finally decided to give a little back (even if it's on a 6 month old thread. haha) I am currently enrolled in Norwich's BS in Cyber Security. I am finishing my 3rd class in my second semester. I would like to contribute my thoughts as this degree is relatively new and… -
Re: I think it is finally time to start looking for another job
My experiences are very similar to si20's. Tried the security route twice in two different organizations only to have had short-term happiness. I came up through the technical ranks (sysadmin for many years) then cut over to being a security officer for a hospital. It was a great way to learn business skills, but…
