Just gotta knock off pentest+ and the capstone and im done with wgu. Anyone got any pointers on what direction to move on from here? I see helpdesk is typically the goto to get some experience. I wanna move into cloud eventually, gonna try and get the aws practitioner cert while I’m doin the capstone. For anyone else in wgu right now the cybersec program is cool, the net+ and cysa were pretty tough. They give u a free voucher for the ccsp after one of the last courses u take too.

been looking towards a career I could maybe transition into and I started looking into QA
Are there any skills I should develop before going into a boot camp? I ask as someone who's working currently in marketing

Get an azure certification. Apply to everything. You might be able to skip help desk because of wgu.
I got promoted at my job from Sr. WAN Engineer to the network architecture team. I don't get to touch equipment much anymore aside from maintaining the RA VPN equipment; I just create the configs the teams use to put on the devices. I miss being in the trenches but a 25k boost to do less work ain't really something I should complain about.
I'm currently using my free time to get deeper into VPN technology and I'm thinking I'm gonna make a run at becoming a network automation engineer. I'm gonna start with the Udemy 100 Days of Python class then jump into Cisco's DevNet professional.

I work at an isp so it’s mpls and vlans
It threw me off at layer 2 being used across a connection to different companoes
But you have to look at it like all one big network
Need some advice brehs. Currently working at UPS part time and wanting to take advantage of their tuition reimbursement program. I was a driver for a while, but had to stop due to a medical condition and I was placed back in the warehouse. I started doing auto mechanic work to supplement the income that I had lost, but I'm over that. I'll be registering at the local community college. They offer courses in Business IT Support, Computer Programming/Development, Cyber security, Healthcare Management, and Networking And Visualization. I'm leaning towards IT support because I feel it fits my skill set. Really looking to pursue something that I can parlay into a work from home job. Something I can do after I finish my shift at UPS, as I'm usually out of there by 8AM, sometimes earlier than that. I'm not looking to make a crazy amount of money either. Should I go for the associate degree, diploma, or just certs? Thanks in advance.
Thinking about transferring to wgu, gonna take a 40 credit hit, but being able to go at my own pace and the certs make It seem worth it
How long it take you?
About 2.5 years since i work fulltime. After going through it I can see how some people can get it done much quicker, especially if you got the time to dedicate towards knockin out classes.
