Keep in mind that "entry level cyber" doesn't mean entry level, it assumes technical background. Just working stupid helpdesk jobs inbetween classes/summer etc will really help you especially if an internship based associates is not possible.ĭont get scared off from applying to jobs that say "Must have bachelors" or "Must have 5 years of experience", be ready to be rejected, but dont hesitate to put youself out there and go through that process. Usually they offer CS associates that are transferrable, and typically you can focus your courses towards programming/sysadmin/network. If you dont have a degree yet, I would recommend a community college that has an internship program. U/op consider that as others have said entry cyber usually expects some history/experience in IT, whether thats programming, sysadmin, or net eng. How do they even do a proper investigation to an incident? I see so many people with "Cyber" masters degrees who dont have basic understanding of how packets traverse a network, its insane. I guess not unsolicited but I technically didn’t ask for you guys to be this insanely helpfulĪs someone who also started as a networking engineer I can confirm this is an easy/standard pipeline to cyber jobs. I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPY TO RECEIVE SO MUCH UNSOLICITED ADVICE! I will not be applying to jobs straight out of Wendy’s with no knowledge in the field. Oh wait also I will be gaining certifications and going to school so that I’m confident and comfortable during interviews. I’m not even kidding this is super motivating and I appreciate it.Īlso when I say being interested in CS was the smartest thing my brain has done I meant that this is the only career field I’ve ever taken genuine interest in so it’s a nice surprise seeing a decent and livable wage go a long with it (: Seriously I’m gonna call my mom and tell her because y’all are awesome. You guys really just took the time out of your day to comment the most genuinely helpful information and I’m so happy about it.
Might take a long time but I’ll only respond when I’m done and I want to respond so I must clean.ĮDIT: OMG there’s more than 30 of you now. I’m gonna go zoom clean my apartment then come back. If this thing I love can make me not poor one day I’ll poop in Ambers shit stain of a bed.Įdit: Hello, I’m extremely sleep deprived and overwhelmed by the 30 of you in the best way possible. I guess I should specify that most of the job titles I browsed were “Entry Level Cyber Security engineer” and “Information Security Analyst” 60k is a big number in my head but oh boy I saw one for 80k. I went on Indeed to see what qualifications employers were looking for and then was happily surprised by the big numbers. What was your starting salary and how much do you make now? I’ve been highly interested in the subject since I was 14 (I’m 21 now) anyways I fell in love but had a horrible time in school and was very sure that I was a stupid lazy piece of Garbo.Ĭome to find out I had undiagnosed crippling ADHD and have finally received great treatment, I’ve decided to go to school! If those salaries are real then being interested in CS was the smartest thing my brain has ever done. I’ve been poor all my life so when I went on indeed today and looked at salaries for entry level Cyber Security positions I nearly pooped my pants. PS I’m in Washington State also 60k for an entry level position is considered big for me.
