Just got my sec+ cert on Friday! Failed it the first time but didn’t give up and took that test again. Glad to hear it is still needed and that my hard work paid off

[serignesanguembackendiaye]

Wowwww !! This was my first plan : earning A+, Net+, Security +, CCNA, CCNP, CCIE ( security ) becoming a Network Engineer and then secondly an Expert in cybersecurity after CC, Sec+, CISSP, and other ISC2 certifs. Wowwww ! I must ne more realistic after watching two times your video !!

[samdavid]

Great advice 👍 I made the mistake you mentioned in the video at 5:58 (and I learned) in my early days of IT of trying to get every certification in the space of 1 year. It is important to give yourself the space to complete things with realistic time frames and not to put yourself under pressure or you will end up burning out. When I figured this out it really helped me very much in my journey 👍

[Reflektr]

This is actually a very good video that gave me some ideas, thank you! 👍

[lifeofwaley]

So you're suggesting
1. CCNA
2. AWS/Azure
3. Security but no mention of Linux.
I'm guessing Linux is last.
Thank you for the video.

Would we recommend A+ as a starting point with some one that has no background in IT? Looking to get that first entry level position

[bigbojangles]

How would you reccomend gaining and proving linux skills without a certification. Maybe just professor messor but I'm not sure how to prove them.

[TheTalolokins]

Informative video! The link to your resume template seems to be not working?

[PhilipBaruch]

I have A+, Net+, and Sec+, and have done some work as desktop support. Now I've been studying CCNA for a while and I find it way way harder than any CompTIA cert.

What do you recommend studying after getting the CCNA and having my background? I was thinking going for something in cloud or security. I am also trying to learn python.

I am kind of at a stand still, because I find the CCNA cert so difficult and so much to learn. But I've been going at it for a while now.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks

Is age matter to start a career in cyber security and people get a job as a fresher in their late 20s like 28

[citadelarmor]

A dedicated video on cloud security would be appreciated 😇

[MightyGandolf]

Working on sec+ but for those who get their CCNA dont waste ur time with helpdesk if your CCNA certified

[tyrojames]

The CISCO CCNA was my first Computer Certification. IF DIDNOT GET ME IN THE DOOR❗

[willsmith]

None. Get started in the most basic IT job. Know you're stuff, get resume bullets, level up in jobs. Never be late for work, never call in, there isnt such thing as a user level function. Show your work. You only have to know IT, you dont need 5 certs to get a starting job or even move up in jobs. The only time you need a cert, if it is a hiring requirement. For instance, DoD jobs usually require you to have a security+ cert. Not saying certs wont help you get a job later, but to START in IT, no. Get the job first, dont waste your time and money before. When you get hired has a basic IT tier 0-1, thise jobs will invest in certification classes and vouchers. Let your employer pay 300, 400, 500 bucks for those certs if you really want them.

[faisalkhan]

WIth all due respect, I'd like to add what you have completely ignored the top most and huge in demand IT skills and certifications in your list, and they are:
PYTHON automation
DEVOPS: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD
AI/Machine Learning
Also just like you mentioned security+ as vendor neutral certification for Security, In the same way I'd recommend Network+ (CompTia) instead of CCNA.
