I've been in Cyber Security for about 15 years. Everything this guy just said is 100% correct.

He is very accurate on the "No one will pat you on the back!" part. If you are doing a good job, your name will not even be mentioned. If it is mentioned, chances are, you are in trouble.

"To be the mentor i've never had", god bless you man!

I felt in love with this path because I'm a person who's obsessed with how things works and how to fix things

[ElMachoNacho]

Honestly Im ok with a boring but high paying job. I already have a boring low paying job :D

[Nabz]

I think its quite difficult to find a job you love and no matter how much you like the job there's always something in the job you wont like. Its the same for all josbs, there's ups and downs. Im not certain if ill like Cyber Security but I don't know until I try. Currently doing the google cyber security professional course and really find your videos helpful.

Thank you for this channel and especially for making this video, I appreciate how candid you are without any sugarcoating. Cheers

[Sriparna]

One of the best videos to take a career decision. Honest, Practical, non-commercial and highly empathetic.

[ayasoboyi]

I appreciate your videos so much and the fact that you respond to questions in you comments section. Thank You!

Thank you for being one of the realest in the field who creates content. I've seen some people post videos titled "Start Your Cybersecurity Career in 7 days, " "Start Your $200k+ Cybersecurity Career, " "Break Into Cybersecurity with 0 Experience, " "Break Into Tech Without Certs of Coding Skills, " etc. Although it's certainly not impossible, it's basically a bunch of click-bait titles followed by some bullshit advice on video, and it's sad to see how many people think they can get into cybersecurity with little to no effort, and how many people focus on the salary without knowing the amount of hard work it will take to get to that point.

I love how you give real life examples of people's experience in the industry, both good and bad. One of my favorites is your video talking about digital forensics, and how a colleague of yours wasn't able to handle the type of stuff you get to see doing digital forensics, basically saying that it's not for everyone. That's the honest reality and you're one of the few who tells it like it is, thank you for that.

Been in cyber security for almost 7 years and everything you said on this video is spot on! Thanks for the confirmation! I started out as a SW engineer with 15 years experience so I like the mix both of them to make it fun. Great video!

[JS-lyrq]

Man i was already sold on wanting to go to cybersecurity but this video is the icing on the cake!

[miguelduarte]

thank you for all your videos. In one weekend I saw 90% of your videos. Helped you can´t imagine how much. Greetings from Paraguay, South America

you hit the nail on the head with everything. I remember when the movie hackers came out(I was bout 8) and I thought it was cool and as I got older and general kept my interest around computers, and even then not even completely into cyber sec, I started to see that movie was bs lol. Heck I am even witnessing people on reddit all day and night concerned about salary in this field and it is definitely not the way to go about it. Even my close friend who is a SD told me that if I want to go all in, not to worry about the money. Thanks for this video :D

[florecista]

Probably one of the best videos I've seen. Concise and precise. 👊

[cameronchapa]

God, ive been taking the NGT FSNA course for over a year! (I had a car accident and had a difficult 6 month stint where i wasnt studying hardly at all and thankfully appealed for a month extension.) I really wish i had been more proactive and looked for more content like you post. I have zero regrets about the course, only that i lost my drive to learn for way too long. If i did even a little bit of extra research and found the cybersec youtubers i know about today, id probably already be working on my second cert.

I clicked on this video a little bit afraid as i just graduated and im interested in working in this field, but i was surprised that im actually good on all 5 things so hooray!! Reinforced my interest even more! Im doing HTB Academy and its very exciting

This man responding to each and every single comment and giving them a like is the most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time. I'm a still teen, however I'm looking forward to working in tech/cyber security in the future. Appreciate the heads up, truly a much needed guide!
