Hey bro. Just wanted to report that a little over two years ago I started IT with zero experience. I did an absolutely basic unpaid internship for about six months and then worked in hell (help) desk for a year and a half. I just got hired as an IT analyst at a prominent aerospace government contractor that regularly works with the federal gov. I could never have expected this. They are even offering to teach me InfoSec and DevOps to get me into that role. What a blessing.

I've never understood why people have egos in cybersecurity. I've been working in cybersecurity for 5 years and occasionally people still try to talk down to me because I don't know some very small, niche detail. I think this contributes to the lack of talent in cybersecurity because people burn out or become demotivated. You just need to keep pushing through, keep learning and keep a positive attitude every day. It's also worth noting that a majority of people in cybersecurity don't have an ego, so the best advice is to network with those individuals and learn from them.

First of all, thank you for all the invaluable advice that you provide. I’ve had one key realization from watching yourself and other tech Youtubers. The certifications dont matter as much as the skills. You could have 50 certs on your resume, but if you can’t convey and demonstrate your skills/knowledge to an employer you’ll never land a job. Most important thing is gaining skills you can ACTUALLY do. Put it on your resume and then show your prospective employer that you have the skills.

Hey, I subscribed to your channel when it was around 0.5k subs. As always your content are valuable, no click bait, no trash talks. I had gone through all the videos. Thank you so much for this road map. I was really confused about Cisco and CompTia. Thank You so much mate. You're more like a mentor for me. 🙌

[martynau]

You have no idea, how much motivation you give me! I'm really grateful for your hard work, I hope one day I'll be able to shake your hand! Thank you!

[Cybersecstudent]

Thank you, sir. This video was just what I needed. I'm attending an event that gathers people in the cybersecurity field, but I still feel unconfident and have a lot of things to learn. I was feeling depressed, but your video has given me hope again. Thank you so much!

[suburbanflower]

I'd love to hear more info on becoming an SOC Analyst without a degree. Thanks again for the quality content!

[jesseC]

Every time I watch one of your videos I get more motivated! You, sir, are what this cyber YouTube space needed! Thank you so much!

[Anonymous-xqcd]

I really love the psychology, philosophy, and mindset you have towards the industry. I hope someday you will become my boss or that I’ll have a boss like you. When I listen to your words, its moving, inspiring, and uplifting.

This course list is gold. Thanks for sharing. I have bought a couple of TCM Security courses and love how they teach.

[josedaluz]

Your recent videos have drastically improved! You motivate me to study and keep learning, thank you :)

I have my google CS specialist certification and just passed my Sec+ this was a big help.

[rumanuddin]

You are the real one who gives us the authentic and important information about the topic. Thanks a lot, and I really appreciate you bro!!

[lindabeam]

What a fantastic video! So helpful. I've honestly realised there is so much content and help on YouTube then just stressing out and passing exams. I will make a start on these big thank you.

Beyond knowledge, I feel that when you are a women in the cybersecurity world, you are very often underestimated and prejudged until you prove yourself!
Thank UnixGuy 😊

Well Iam So excited for founding these topics About Cyber Security <3, I am 45, The IT is new field for me, i ve just completed the manual software testing course 2.5 month, but feel thats not what i was looking for, i had advices to learn Programing or go to Cybersecurity, had some links to the sites i should start learning Cybersecurity, from one of the links about basics on youtube i ve found you and will follow your steps ! My English is B1 or B2 so it will be ok i think. Thanks for these videos <3

[glizzygang]

I've been watching these videos for a little bit, and one thing I've noticed is the lack of beating around the bush. I spent so much tim etrying to figure out where I need to start, googling, youtube, and constant, "Do this, do that and then you're ready." Nonsense. I'm thirty now and cant wait.

[salemabeach]

Thank you for what you do, you are very kind with your time and with the information you are sharing. I have worked in IT for 20+ years mainly on the account management side working with various IT leaders around improving their processes through services and technologies that we (large IT) offer. Cyber Security has been my focus for 6 years now, over the past 3 years I read and ingested the CBK CISSP including Shon Haris book, I wrote the CISSP exam last year and stayed to the 150 questions. I did not pass and I was wondering if you recommend I keep trying, or move on to read and study other areas for example CISM. On your recommendation (as I look to get more hands on) I studies and passed the ISC2 CC exam. Thank you for your encouragement!

Hey, Unix guy. I'm currently working on selenium automation testing(java) and after watching all your videos I made up my mind that'll get into the cyber security field, but the more i get into starting my journey the more complicated it's becoming there are like different career paths different jobs where to start, ,which is the best way, and what will the job responsibility be how should i pick the one that suits me. I got a roadmap from you videos but still not so confident to start.
It would be great if you do full length A to Z complete guide.
covering
1) these are the career paths and these are it's job roles and responsibilities
2) pick one Job and tell about it start with this cert, resources and next this and to the end land this job. same way for the rest. like forensics, investigation etc
I know u almost covered all these but it's hard to jump from one video to other and go crazy in the end.

A big thanks for your efforts❤
