Where companies list jobs there hiring for.

Its hard leaving thecoli but I gotta find a way...
Which is the point about companies complaining but not adjusting to the market just critizing the market. Citrix did that in Florida for years, complained about uneducated people in Fort Lauderdale.

I'm not saying you are wrong all I am saying is that its not just a cybersecurity issue. Its an issue with IT and is not new. Pretty much everything I have learned has come from self learning. Any training I have done has come out of my pocket(thankfully I can have my company reimburse me a portion of it). But yeah companies aren't investing in their employees like they should, so until that changes, we'll just have to keep investing in ourselves to progress.

Really enjoying all the Linux/python/security stuff I’ve been doing and plan to get more into that during my free time. I don’t really think networking is for me as I find it to be a bit dry tbh, but there’s definitely some networking concepts that are necessary for security. What I’m trying to figure out is would it be worth it to get the CCNA even though I don’t really have a desire to be a network engineer or would the

Well, boys, this is it. I am getting a trial run to potentially be promoted to Information Security Admin in January. My trial run is starting in December.
Your boy is going to have to get neck-deep in Kali, Python, Bash, Powershell, and whatever they ask me to.
Any additional helpful resources to pick up some of these tools are welcome. I refuse to let a dope opportunity like this pass without giving it 100.
Only thing that can get in my way is me.

The N+ is easier but the ccna holds more weight.
I'm really asking the same thing but was told many times that the N+ isn't worth paying for so I'm doing the CCNA study but I agree with you especially with this cybersecurity stuff being all over the place it's like you wasting 3 months doing this and then getting a job that hasn't anything to do with routing or switching so I kinda ask the same question.
I just need a firm grasp of networking and the OSI layer and that should/would be enough, correct?
But doing the CCNA just due to the name recognition and hopefully, it can open up some doors to better.
Never used them. I stick to Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor. Dice used to be good but got overrun by 3rd party postings. Ain't nobody trying to deal with all that.
What's 3rd party posting?
Staffing agencies. Usually, but not always, Indian recruiters. They get a hold of your resume and start contacting you about shyt that's barely related. I had to pull my shyt up off Dice
