#newtocyber — Public Fediverse posts

Excitement & frustration; bleeding-edge tech but layoffs, low salaries, and unrealistic expectations. Talent shortages yet highly competitive & scarce entry-level roles.

Seeing numerous cybersec/infosec internships requiring active degrees is disheartening! 💢

The practice seems counterproductive to a workforce hiring gap; restricting an industry to only those privileged enough to be pursuing conventional (often inadequate) degrees appears shortsighted 😡

Self-taught individuals on par with their counterparts is obvious and proving as valuable as, if not more than, a four-year degrees in some case! 💻

If we're respecting and mutually accrediting ACCESSIBLE (pay-what-you-want & free) industry learning materials (cyber ranges, workshops, online courses, certs, etc) then why the artificial roadblock of a traditional degree? 🤔

I'm sure everyone's seen the 'hiring gaps' and layoffs but what's been your experience getting an infosec/cybersecurity/hacker job? Did you transition careers? What's the good, bad, ugly, roadblocks, whatever?

2023 Global Cybersec Workforce = 5,452,732 ✅

2023 Global Cybersec Workforce Gap = 3,999,964 ❌

- What got you interested in infosec/cybersecurity/hacking gigs?

- What's your 'why' for selecting this industry?

- Any crazy hurdles or frustrating moments?

- How are you learning the ropes, especially if you came from a completely different background?

- Any specific training that helped you on your way?

- What have interviews been like?

- Anything weird that you never expected? Did your expectations match the industry?

- How's the job market for these roles?

Most importantly....what would have made the process easier? For research purposes exclusively 😅
