What are some Cheap/ and or affordable options for laptops that have a lot of Ram/gb to do VM on?
My budget is about $300

Hit up CL or Marketplace. A lot of time you have people who work in small orgs selling off their old stock. For $300 I'm sure you can find a thinkpad with a decent processor and 16gb. Don't forget a lot of models have expandable ram as well.

Anyone here work or have worked on a SOC before that can give me advice? Maybe some insight on the day to day grind. Im just trying to get my foot in the door. Ive had my sec+ for a minute but I haven't been able to get a SOC job yet. I'll admit I got discouraged after a couple interviews didn't work out and I settled into my helpdesk purgatory situation but Im trying to escape again. One thing that came up in interviews is they seemed to want experience with working on SIEMs and wanted some programming experience. How can I get some hands on expierence/knowledge for working in SIEMs? Most of them from what Ive seen you can install the real version of them on your own computer. Also when Im looking at job descriptions the qualifications look way over my head alot of times. Im just trying to get started.
@Illmagic I haven't gotten a SOC role, really just helpdesk like ya self, but check out this YouTube channel https://youtube.com/c/TechTualChatter. I follow breh on Twitter, he pretty much went from the helpdesk to NOC and then SOC.
You can VMware workstation pro to have multiple VMs at home, but that can get pretty costly with RAM, memory etc. You could get a cheap desktop and use that as a server and then join all your laptops / other devices to that server. Suricata is a free option you could install, and you could even use Linux Server for your desktop.
You in school? At my community college, we have to take this work based learning class where we work with local companies on something dealing with/in our major & they were able to find me this Technology Support Specialist role at a local school, where I'm doing repairs, monitoring all devices on their network, training employees on cybersecurity, plus other little (free) projects I can think of.

I've worked in several but those jobs stink and are mostly outsourced to the lowest bidder these days. There are a ton of free or cheap training resources out there. Or you can just download trial versions of SIEM software and install it on a home lab setup. I frankly would only do this type of work for a few years and then get out. The turnover rate in these type of jobs is through the roof.
