Damn sitting a cafe right now and I cant believe how blessed I am right now. Graduating college in Networking Security to not even touching that expertise while going to healthcare It. I never thought in a billion years that I would be possibly sitting at a senior position (aced my second interview today with director and staff) making over 80 in just three years brehs.

Hard work and determination pay off my brehs. Best of luck to all of you.

I feel like im stuck as far as the studying goes for my A+ and im feeling like im not using the right material ...

I went on the official compTIA website to look at what exactly is going to be on the exams so i have an idea of what to focus on though.... Are there any books you brehs recommended (im using the mike myers book ) or videos (I usually watch the professor messer guy on YouTube) ?

@Mainevent_7 You took the CEH yet?

Not yet, starting this new job I kind of put it on the back burner. Definitely going to get back to studying so I can take it.

2nd day was better, not having to sit in that traffic helped a lot. Job is easy, plus i heard the managers was talking about me like i was a 5 star prospect after my interview

So i'll give em 6 months minimum while i work on my cissp but no more support positions after this one

idk what to do brehs I wanna make money.

Security job?

I was brought on as a software engineer, since the company is so large they allow you to pick projects in different areas. So I'm working on getting picked up on a security project.
