These are the questions that I always think about and worry about and I didn't get my answers from anyone but then you appeared with these advices and addressing the same questions it's like you took these questions directly from my mind... It's always so helpful to watch your videos... Thank you so much ❤😇

[umm_khaled]

Omg this is perfect timing! I’ve been going back and forth on these two. Thank you! 🙏

[coming_out_]

Every advice from the Unix guy is gold ❤

I used to think you can only do one job or the other but at the start of this year have been doing bug bounty hunting while trying to get a job in cyber security, I feel both of those combined could be beneficial and will definitely keep my mind busy, this video helped my brain lean more towards the possibility and be hopeful to my goal.

This was so perfect and timely I'm basically in the same boat. Thanks for the inspiration I'm continuing on pursuing Ethical Hacking.

[ahmedsifaw]

The last advice touched my heart, thanks :)

[UncleThirsty]

I appreciate you being such a nice person. Working in IT I meet so many jerks. You don’t meet that many nice people, especially those with the advance knowledge.

[RYDERSEC]

Perfect. This video answered a lot of my questions too. Thanks ❤

Thank you again for this priceless video ...after the Google Cyber security certificate I'm actually studying for Sec+ pray that I'll pass it from the first try in two weeks....

And the last question is my desire, I really believe that I will first start being a good Cyber Analyst and then get to penetration testing later I don't mind learning as long as I can...I have already completed HTML & CSS and currently taking a JavaScript class as well as some python practices (I know it might be crazy but I am patient when learning no rush)

My next move will be the HTB defensive certificate (after the sec+)

Honestly it's fun for me and I can't wait to see myself in 5 years....


And I thank God for sending you there you're my inspiration again thank you a million.

[samha]

I already watched this video but I specifically came back to say thank you and today was another big accomplishment of passing Comptia Sec+ 🙏

[infoseye]

Perfect timing, was thinking the same thanks.

[tobby_fabulous]

Thanks for the detailed breakdown man 😊😊

[malukabee]

Lots of love from South Africa. I am also following your Ethical hacker road map. I'm excited about it, 1st month, 11 to go!

[BryantEspinal]

Thank you for the video. I will go blue team path which is SOC/ cyber security analyst

[PaladinGMS]

You are definitely God sent Unix, your information has truly been helpful to me & alot of us subscribe to your channel, I hope your channel grows to a million subs 🙏🏼

[PhantomPhysics]

Love your videos. Looking forward to furthering my career into digital forensics. Already an analyst

Such a great video, I think i have a similar path as Shane. So it was a really informative video for me! Actually planning on doing the career switch into red team later in my career, but focusing right now to get a blue team entry role.

[monh]

man, you have read my mind, 😁I felt lost in the buffer overflow module, then I remembered your saying, it takes on hacker to get in, but a team of defense to stop him, I figured out that may be it is not easy to get in red team at least for me right now. and here I see your video. thank you before starting the video.

[dimitarpopov]

Golden video (as always)! You have just read my mind and questions in it. Thank you very much!!

Don't go for the money. Just go for what you're passion about
