The main reason it’s so difficult to enter the domain is because most companies are clueless! They want someone already ready to do everything from day 1 and are not willing to teach or let them learn. NOBODY can be an expert in all tools and expertise out there, but sometimes the amount of requirement is crazy and makes nonsense. Sometimes asking 5y experience for a product that exist only for 2y! Additionally, lots of HR and recruiters out there know nothing about the technical aspect of the job and just put a bunch of words and credentials together asking candidates to filled everything up. Until they change their mindset, the market will keep suffering and people won’t find more opportunities

Doc, I appreciate your content, The daily cyber threat briefing, the actionable intel and your discord community. However, I'm starting to believe that the number of entry level positions is kind of smoke and mirrors.
But, the grind will continue. Again, thanks for your support.

[KrisiumSoul]

To explain why is hard to get a entry level position is easy, 80% of education wont transition to a real live enviroment. Creating a portfolio with projects always caught the attention of recruiters and companies.

[RicondaRacing]

Sure entry level jobs exist, they just require 30 years of SOC experience.... because we all know when Windows 3.1 was a thing, everyone was buried in cyber security

[aarond]

The real struggle is those of us who are stubborn and refuse to go back in the office, lol. definitly takes more time to find something.

I will have my Bachelor's in Cybersecurity by June. This video made me feel less stressed out!

[shemickasimpson]

I'm currently finishing up my Masters in IT Management and recently received my CAPM certification with the program, I'm very interested in GRC area of Cyber! I'm happy I found your channel!!

[sam]

GRC analyst master class is a master piece... loved

[austinemery]

Thanks for the video. Certainly helped me add more fuel to the fire. As a military radar computer technician veteran I'm looking to get into cyber. Currently I am a help desk intern getting that experience. Also taking the SEC+ this month. Wish me luck!

[m.b.]

Getting into this field is ridiculously hard. I have 5 certs and 10 yrs of help desk/tech support and I still can't even get a interview. I decided to just get my CISSP this summer since I've already got my 5 yrs experience.

[Minwamon]

Watching my son pay thousands of dollars to get certified, graduate with a 99%, study to get his certification and send out hundreds of applications without so much as an interview after months is heartbreaking - jobs in Canada in this field are wanting 5-10 years experience- how does anyone get that without an entry level job?!?! Frustrating

[cyberveteran]

Build that network! Even before you finish school and get in to the industry.

[Sky-mrvw]

So much energy in your video! I'm literally pumped up :) Looking forward to the next one.

[Agroth]

There’s so much going on here, it’s like fact after fact after fact! This is awesome!

[kimberlycanfixit]

“Yeah I know someone” boom 💥 and that’s exactly how it happens

[MrFeelingoflove]

Thanks a lot for your motivational videos, Dr. Auger 🙌 it inspires to believe in yourself and continue working hard and studying to get into cyber security 💪

Hello from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿👋

[husseindhooma]

Hi Gerry, love your videos, the sad part about looking for Cyber Sec jobs is that you have to be in the area eg. America or London to get those jobs, I am in SA and have been applying for a year and half and no takers, its just sad but I am not one to give up will still try and get that Remote job.

[ishudbgm]

[Sassysaash]
