I started taking Cybersecurity courses in Summer 2023 and haven't been able to land a job even though I'm ready to do FREE internships and people think they can start with a 6 figure salary? LOL But of course I don't live in the US, I'm based in Portugal and the reality here is obviously different.
Also, the job positions are completely unrealistic, as you mentioned: I always feel like I have learned nothing as it seems they always demand that you know everything! Not to mention requiring 3-5 years of experience or/and the CISSP cert for Entry-Level positions, I think this is the most hilarious to me.
Lately, I've been thinking about giving up: it has been quite hard, my savings are finishing, and things are not improving...

Q: do you think i can get a remote job in cybersecurity? Im currently studying certs to jump from IT to cybersecurity, im located out of EEUU looking for salary that in EEUU looks no much higher but compared to the ones on my country but im afraid that for foreigners there’s no much options 🙃
More specific, could you advise me what path to follow to get a chance to get a remote job in EEUU? Or in order to get a remote job in US you need to be a US citizen?
