Hello everyone. I have a question
First off, many thanks for taking the time to read my post and possibly even reply with thought or advice. I have worked in the telecom industry for the past 19 years. Anywhere from commercial network cabling (cat5, cat6, fiber, coax etc) to central office equipment installation and everything in between. I do not have any… -
Re: APT1: Exposing One of China's Cyber Espionage Units
New York Times has a great article in regards to this. We're definitely behind the eight ball in all of this and I believe that a large portion of it is due to educational institutions refusing to train people in the "black" arts as it were. The US government complains of a lack of trained people (and refuses to bring in… -
Re: If a company offered a fully funded SANS MSISE degree, would you leave your job for this?
Good points. Happiness / satisfaction / quality of life at the job of course are important criteria as well. I just know that unemployment in cyber is almost zero, and money isnt always the driving factor for people who tend to be fed by a passion for learning, and leveling up in their field. I'm in your shoes, tech lead… -
Re: Which CompTIA certs are worth getting?
I'm partial to CompTIA. They are relatively cheap to get, both for study costs and the exams (comparing with MS and Cisco). Also, the vendor neutral part is nice.

Re: What kind of entry level job can i expect get with BS Information Technology security
Hello dialectial, looking at what skills the OP will get most use from means we should consider the fact they will be probably starting at the bottom of the ladder in the workplace and will have to work their way up to the likes of a sysadmin or network grunt. Their security degree is unlikely to get them a security job… -
Re: Getting ready for CASP+, but wondering if I should bother renewing my S+
I did CySA+, Pentest+, and Cisco Cyber Ops all within a few months of each other like 2 years ago so they've congealed together considerably in my mind. For the CySA+: Extra-jargony Sec+? I think that jargony tool memorization + bad grammar + typos describes the CEH from what I've read, though I haven't taken that and… -

Re: Why am I stuck?
I agree with Networker and the others. There is a general rule of thumb: if you get no interviews - work your resume. If you get interviews but no offers - work your interview skills. I see your certs. Can you speak to experience that backs them up? You may come off as a "paper tiger". That is basically someone with certs… -
Re: Degree or Certs?
Going part-time is a good option. You already have your associates under your belt and you have two years of experience; this is good enough for your current situation and progressing part-time should keep pace with your career, so long as you take classes at a minimum of half-time enrollment and keep going in the summers.…
