I been in tech since 2015. From the help desk to jr Linux admin .. to IAM … This is the best video I have seen. Pure Truth. Truth doesn’t need apology. I know exactly… who they talking about… guy says “get into cyber with no degrees or certifications… But then they charge you 15k to sign up.. even 300% more than the actual certification from PCI… so… if i can do it without going to college or a certification.. why are they charging a semester at MIT almost to do it? Help me out.. I’m Clewis.. I mean clueless… 😉😂😂… Great video!! Standing ovation 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Josh is Legit asf! super knowledgeable

[waynegreen]

Wow! A rich backstory. i watched this video over the course of two days (downloaded then watched at my own pace), so let me see if I got this straight. Software engineer at Microsoft(no easy feat). Then Adjunct professor at a college. Then back to Microsoft? Then one of the top cybersecurity influences on the net. Enviously, he has achieved things most tech people have ever dreamed of. Congrats to him!!!

Terrific content. The only thing missed was a focus on mental health and the effort to balance the demands of career growth. Josh mentioned living in his car for a period of time, and not owning a lot material things currently… that’s worth exploring with curiosity, and it’s a piece of content that’s adds value to the whole conversation related to the career journey.

Josh being a govtech recruiter would be cool.

I finished the IT support professional with CourseCareers, and is currently enrolled in the Leveld Cybersecurity course. I was an IT support tech for 8 years but was out of the industry for a while. Using both courses as a refresher and to learn new skills. Love the content and keep doing what you doing!!

It's interesting hearing the course completion stats. I'm trying to join that small pool of completed sign ups.
I like the concept of building something to put out and show your ability and asking folks what you can do to make their life easier. Good points
