The best job description for security analyst I've heard of was: "That grumpy guy/gal who shouts at me everytime I click those links and open attachments in those curious e-mails"...

I got a job as an ISSO with no experience, started at $109,000. After two year’s experience and if I get my CISSP, my pay scale will go between $130,000-189,000 as an ISSM.

Thank you for getting right into the actual content I was looking for. The last video I clicked on was a day in the life of a cyber security analyst and then showed him making a smoothie and walking his dog. Wasting my time.

I must commend the editor for making this engaging but not visually overwhelming. Truly fun and informative

One of the best videos covering a job descriptions I’ve seen for a cyber security role. A SOC is the area I want to get into with currently being a IT Technician II. Thank you for this info and I subscribed!

Thank you for this video. Currently unemployed and my previous sector is dead where I live. It's not worth moving for, time to upskill from nothing. Subbed ❤

I'm in my first semester of getting my B.S. in Cyber Security through WGU, I've been watching tons of videos like this to prepare me, i'm learning toward Cyber Security Analyst and trying to narrow down what seems a good fit for me, SOC Analyst seems like something I'd enjoy, thank you for these videos.

You’re becoming my “go to” instructor! 😊

Been struggling to find remote cyber work since I relocated to a more rural area during the pandemic. Lost my last 100% remote role. Most want hybrid or back to the office. Some jobs need to be on site like SOC work but a lot can be remote like compliance work (my area).
