The TRUTH about Cyber Security Salaries

That last part you said about the extraordinary person, is so true. I've been in telecommunications & IT for a long time now and there really wasn't anything special or significant about me. I was completely "boring" but I love learning and I tried to learn everything I could. It was always a little bit and I never thought about the money because I was doing what I enjoyed doing and, more importantly, I was learning. I'm now 10 years into it and, sure enough, I don't even need to "apply" for a job anymore. I simply change the status of my professional profile from private to public and, seriously, within days offers come pouring it. I'm actually in a position now where I can be picky and turn away job offers. I honestly couldn't tell you when it happened. But in the end I went from asking employers to give me a job to being asked by employers to please work for them. 10 years ago I never would have dreamed of turning away a job offer and now I often find myself saying "no thanks". That statement you made is so true. Stop focusing on the money. Just focus on the skills. Trust me, the money will come.

Just started today as Security Analyst. Today was the orientation actually, tomorrow I'll start my training. My goal is to shift to pentesting in about 2 years. I really hope this plan works. I just watched your video about your story in IT. Fantastic!

One of the best mentors in YT. Thank you sir for everything. Never been so clear with the concepts of SOC and fundamentals or how to start. Love and Respect.

[gerardoreyes]

The way you go about it’s refreshing and takes off a lot of the pressure … just learn a little every day and be consistent thanks for all the info!

hit the nail on the head. I back door my way into IT with my current job due to my 10+ years of automotive experience and I happen to be starting my cyber sec degree the same day as my first job(back in 2021) I chose to take a simple pay, didn't quit school because I found a job after 2 years of searching and kept low and kept studying and have even made a small program for my company. You are 100% right, take your time and learn and the money will follow without a doubt and mind you I not even done with school yet and they already spoke to me about paying for my masters :D

Such a good video mate! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Totally agree that chasing money is probably not the wisest thing to do. Chasing learning and honing your craft is what matters. Loving your videos. 😊

I understand that I must climb the ranks and put my work in. I plan on getting employed into the field soon, thanks for the insight man, you have been a huge help in starting my career. i have learned more in the last 2 months than i have in the last 6.
