I think I'm about to get a job offer even though I'm on the second day of my new job.
IT Certifications and Careers (Official Discussion Thread)
- Thread starter fendi_mane
- Start date
The offer is kinda bad. It pays slightly less than I'm making and now all of a sudden it's temp to hire. They didn't mention that before.

CyberOps is more technical than Sec+.
- Finish all the labs.
- Read the SECFND and SECOPS books.
Edit: SECOPS was easier than SECFND to me. Both exams ask more in depth questions than Sec+. Ex. "Look at this output... what is the attacker trying to accomplish" and it may be a PCAP, IDS log, or firewall log.

Update: When I tried to decline the offer, they asked why and I tell them because it's temp to hire. They hang up, call back 5 minutes later. It's now a permanent position. It's got summer Fridays, 1 more day PTO than the job I just started. Even though I'm not super excited about the job I got, this one doesn't seem as good. It's a much smaller company and there's no IT team. The lack of a team makes me think that there won't be room to grow and I'll get bored a lot sooner.

When you interviewed for the position, was a team ever mentioned? Did you inquire about growth of the company? Honestly I wouldn't even entertain the position. I'm assuming that the changed it to temp to hire on you prior to you applying. That would have been a red flag for me and I would have declined the offer without hesitation.
I knew there was no team after I interviewed, but I didn't have a job at the time, so I wasn't being picky. I got in with an MSP working on site at a really big company, but it's help desk when I wanted more of a junior admin type role. But it pays more than my previous job.
I'm gonna keeping looking passively while I study and cert up. Then around April\May, I'm gonna start hunting for real.
These companies take so long with their hiring. I got an email today from a company I interviewed with back in mid-November. The said I was still in the running, but they're taking a break for the holidays. It's been over a month!
I want to build a portfolio of sorts as I dive into some programming languages and take in shell scripting.
Would Github be a good place for dumping that stuff? How do y'all go about showing your work and all that?

Surprised anyone is doing hiring this time of year
Put it all in Github (I've been using GitLab lately) that way your work is visible and you can show you know how to use VCS. Then link to it in your resume.

I'm assuming you need to add rules to allow that software to communicate over ports 21 and 80 for all outgoing traffic. If Sonic Wall is a firewall then you'll probably be able to add it there. If not then look at Windows defender settings and your should be about to do it there.
Forgot if I asked, but anyone ever leave a Job in under 6 months? 
Did you burn bridges and go ghost or put in formal 2 weeks?
