It’s highly unlikely that you’ll get a job in cybersecurity without experience. Don’t buy into the idea that certifications are your golden ticket to a 6-figure tech career.

When you’re first starting out, taking a lower paying role that gives you experience in the technology that will be in high demand is always the right move. That experience will pay itself 10-fold over the course of your career.

If you are in cybersecurity, you are as much a business professional as you are a tech professional. Conduct yourself accordingly.

I used to think my career in cybersecurity was a finite game. “When I get that job” “When I make that salary” “When I get that cert” Spoiler alert: The game keeps going. It’s an infinite game. So enjoy the ride 👍

You are not always going to feel like it. Do it anyways. Your future self will thank you.

Performing old actions while expecting a different result is insanity. Want your life to change? Step outside of your comfort zone.

Take your time to get it right. It will benefit you in the long run.

Take the extra steps to cover your butt. Your future self will be glad you did.

Merry Christmas 🎄

You can’t truly be a student and allow yourself to feel entitlement at the same time. Being a student means having enough humility to learn from those who are better and more knowledgeable than you. It’s time to put the arrogance aside.

You weren’t trained to think. You were trained to obey. This is what separates you from achieving your goals. Learn to think for yourself and break out of the matrix.

What you feed your mind will directly reflect the ways you think and how you act. Be mindful of the stimulus you feed yourself.
