Literally used your "willing to learn" lines in my interviews and ended up with a few offers after months of interviewing. Amazing how a concept as leveraging soft skills can go a long way in the process. Thank you so much for making information so easy to understand and build on!

Thanks, my man.

You're like the big brother I never had lol! Your videos are packed with so many resources in such a short amount of time and really give me the confidence to continue. I am so grateful I came across your channel.

You truly have a great channel here, as a CS major planning to graduate soon with a newfound interest in cybersecurity your videos have been super informative and have helped provide me with a better plan of what to do next. Thank you for continuing to make these videos!

Thank you very much for this, for these your videos! I did realise at my age of 37 that cyber security really could be passion of mine. I always did in IT only tier 1 win admin (which is basically little bit more expirienced user, honestly) or jobs in non-IT as a security. Your videos really helping me to inform myself and find out that this job could be something I want to really work on and I hope even love it.

Just the kind of motivation I need, thank you!

Thank you so much for all the information. I am a Chilean English teacher, 31, and I am super excited to pursue a career in Cyber security. I know nothing yet, so your video is pure gold. I really appreciate it, thank you. I will follow these recommendations before going to university if it is a must here in Chile. It fits my plans since I have not got much money at this point in time. Thanks again.

Best video I've watched this year! The information in this video is gold.

Frankly your advice is so valuable here that it goes well beyond the scope of just cyber security. Anyone looking to get into a brand new field or new role can learn from your advice here. Great video with great pacing and content. Thank you!

Thank you SOOOO much man. I’ve been learning cybersecurity over the last six months and it’s been SO overwhelming. Not knowing where I should start or how I should direct my learning. This has been enormously helpful. Really appreciate it. ❤

I want you to know that I greatly appreciate your subtitles. Combined with the speed and length of the video, there's only a handful of accents I have a lot of trouble with, but your subtitles made it so much easier to follow. Thank you

[jitheshkuyyalil]

So informative and up to the point! Clear! Thanks a lot for your work!
