I passed my CCNA finally. I did the Neil Anderson Udemy course and the Boson Sims until i could get above a 900 routinely. I also passed Sec+ in August. My question is, whats next? I enjoy Network Engineering and security, but I still feel like I should know more before I start applying in a crowded job market (NYC area). Im stuck in a job that pays well but isnt right for me anymore, is it possible to gather enough of a skillset to bypass most helpdesk time?

Got through chapter 3 of my RHCSA book. How hard is this cert for someone with limited linux exp?

ClumsyThief posted:Not sure how many people here have or are pursuing AWS certs but I just pass the SysOps Admin Associate and that test is not a joke. Failed my first attempt and passed my second about an hour ago. Plugging Neil Anderson's Udemy class ($12)and the BOSON practice tests ($90?) for CCNA. I passed it in about 2.5 months with little background knowledge.

Lets Get Patchy posted:Is boson a good baseline of where you should be before taking the theoretical CEH? I've heard nothing but bad things about CEH. Is it worth getting anymore? Im looking for an entry level security cert and I'm leaning toward Cisco CyberOps because it refreshes my CCNA.

I'm doing my test prep for AZ-104. Used Trainingdojo ($15). I failled my first test with a 59% after doing Scott Duffys Udemy course. I'm told thats not uncommon. I read through the wrong answers to figure out why they are wrong and took the same version again to get a 91%. My plan is to repeat this process with the remaining 3 versions and if i get above a 90, schedule the exam. If I pass. I think i might switch to a .Net/Angular course instead of going straight to Az-305. My current employment isnt cloud related and I dont think I have the experience to a) pass it b) have it mean anything if I pass it. I think my goal might be DevOps. I don't really know enough to know what I want. This is all for a second career I plan on starting in a few years.

Passed my AZ-104! I thought it was going to be close, but I got an 880. I used Scott Duffys course on Udemy, and TutorialsDojo practice tests. I'm not sure where to go now. I feel like maybe I should go learn a scripting language instead of going toward Az-500 right away. I still don't know if I want to end up in a Devops role or focus more on security but I figure learning python could help with both.

Does anyone have any experience with AZ-500? Is it harder than az104? ACloudGuru recommends it before AZ-30(5). Job-wise, Would it be more beneficial build some projects in python first ?

Cyks posted:Congrats. I was that way with the VVP-NV last week as well. Since you can take the exam as a CCNA holder I assumed that part of the exam would be about networking but no, not a single question. Do you mean VCP-NV? The CCNA didn't help at all?

Cyks posted:Sorry, I’m bad about proof reading but yes the VCP-NV. Knowing some networking concepts will help with understanding how NSX-T works but no knowledge was needed for the questions I had. Ah, thanks for clarifying. I was interested in taking it because a VCP-NV holder can then sit for other VMware certs without having to pay for their overpriced training courses. What would i need to study for the VCPNV if anything as a CCNA holder?

I've been doing the Dion training Udemy course for the CYSA+ cert. Slowly losing my motivation to finish it. Anyone here have a positive story after passing it? My end goal is a WFH cyber security gig. My plan after this is to work on the az-500, since I already passed az-104.

Has anyone taken the CySA exam recently? I decided to take the Udemy course and am in the process of taking practice exam. I was wondering if it was significantly harder than Sec+

Got my CySA+! I definitely did not think I was going to pass. I clicked finished test and thought, "well there goes $400".

navyjack posted:I’m supposed to take mine end of summer. Would you be up for a PM to talk about what you saw and what you were surprised by. Any tips and tricks are welcome! Of course. I watched the Dion Training Udemy course at 1.25x speed and took occasional notes (30 hours). Then I got the sybex practice questions book and took the 2 practice tests at the end. I bombed them but I researched why the correct answer was correct and made sure I understood it (10 hours). Then I got the Dion Training practice questions module on Udemy and scored most tests in the 80s and researched why I got the wrong answers (12 hours). Then retook the tests and got 90s. . Noam Chomsky posted:Congrats! Hard unless you've worked in a SOC before. I hadn't but I had SEC+ (3 years ago) CCNA and some Linux background, although I haven't done formal it work. I barely passed. It's not impossible though. If you can get mid 80s on the Dion practice tests without memorization Id say you're ready. I'd say get Sec+, Linux+ and maybe even pentest + first, since pentest + forces you to do the actual hands on part. It's designed to be for someone in the industry for 4 years and honestly I don't think I'm better off with the cert since I don't have that experience yet. Not sure where I should go now. Maybe CISSP? AZ-500? CISA? I live near the HQ of some big accounting/auditing firms but I'm really enjoying working from home

navyjack posted:Ok all good info. I work in a SOC as an analyst now. I have some hands on with Splunk and some other standard analysis and automation tools, as well as IR, CTI, and threat hunter colleagues sitting nearby to ask questions. I’ve got Sec and Net+, as well. I’m mostly getting the CySA for something to do while promotions are frozen, so when they unfreeze, I’ve got something to show. I would just take the Dion Training practice exams on Udemy to gage where your knowledge level is first. It's like $12. If you score in the 90s on the first try you'll probably pass the exam.

C2C - 2.0 posted:So, thanks to Amazon's Career Choice benefit, I've been accepted to WGU for the Cloud Computing (B.S.) curriculum. No. Finish WGU as soon as possible and reassess your situation after you finish it. You're thinking too far ahead. That curriculum will take years to complete if you're also working. An IT spot may or may not open up during that time period.

Well I passed my CISSP. My company paid for it and a supervisor is sponsoring me. That test was extremely annoying. My experience matched everything you'll read saying you think you failed until you get your "Congratulations" paper. Not sure what to do with myself now. Been dedicating a good portion of my free time to this god drat test for the last 6 months.
