What is up boys. I am in my mid twenties and I want to start a better career. I dropped out of college (humanties major so it was useless anyways), I have been looking into a bunch of different areas I can try and I landed on coding. I did an HTML class in college and I enjoyed it. I know it is not the same, but I was looking into this:
https://www.codingdojo.com/cyber-security-bootcamp-part-time
I talked to an admissions dude already, but I was wondering on what you guys thought about how valid a coding bootcamp is. Im not looking for 100k starting, as long as I can realistically get a job within a year of graduating and make around 50k I'll be happy to build myself up from experience afterward.

idk how good these bootcamps actually are, i think there's no real replacement for a proper CS education.

my company hired a bootcamp developer and i had to mentor him for a few months. he knew the basic stuff from rote memorization but completely fell apart whenever he had to fix an issue that wasn't completely by the book. and it's that ability to think on your feet that truly sets apart an overseas code monkey from good engineers.

anyways i told my boss that he's not worth his salary and we let him go.

the cybersec/IT industry does not give a shit about bootcamps or whatever certificate of competion they give, dont bother with it youll be wasting so much money you could put towards certifications that actually matter namely the CompTIA trifecta which you can use to get an entry level job somewhere. IDK what your aspirations are but generally speaking if you get the CompTIA A+ > Network+ > Security+ > Linux+ or RHCSA will have you pretty flexible for whatever. If you want to get into penetration testing specifically then you can do the PNPT, I HIGHLY recommend following this course path its the best information in one place if u wanna git gud at l33t haxxing

I can understand that as a concern. My only thing is I had a lot of CS major friends and a lot of the time they were mainly doing theory. I personally would rather skip out on the bullshit and learn hands on and practically. I am also concerned about that, but I feel like having a foothold (the certificate) would help me learn on my own a lot better.

i see what you're saying, but IMO it's actually the theoretical stuff that gives you that creative problem solving ability. the practical coding part is mostly boilerplate, API calls, and different kinds of requests that isn't particularly hard to learn how to do but being able to reproduce and isolate a strange bug or finding out why particular aspects of a codebase are severely underperforming does require some theory knowledge.

i don't know what kinds of schools you have where you live, but maybe consider auditing a few freshman/sophomore level CS classes at a local community college alongside your bootcamp?

>>51062536
If you're going for a coding bootcamp try to find one that provides a job guarantee (like pay after you get a decent paying tech job). They in particular have partnerships with different tech companies and will do anything to get you hired, help you write your resume, and send it to companies and recruiters they work with. I got a job immediately after doing a bootcamp which was completely free as part of this covid relief program in my country. I had years of prior programming experience as a hobbyist but I could have passed the job interview with just what I learned at the bootcamp even if I didn't.

Recommendations? Alot of the twitter personalities just shitpost and virtue signal. I want to level up in the industry a bit, I already do it for my job so I don't want to chase certs, just focus on knowledge.
I've just been listening to the security unfiltered podcast and even though the guy sounds like a moron it's been kind of interesting to hear about various industry perspectives that I am not exposed to.
My current role is in charge of "security" of a telecom product, basically nmap the software and ree at developers to update libraries because of CVEs. It feels like basic bitch work but then everyone around me thinks I have some esoteric knowledge when all I really do is google CVEs, run nmap, and nping. Just want to avoid going stale without having to job hop.

As far as discords go: infosec prep, h101, hack the box, tryhackme, bugcrowd, defcon. Twitter is completely fucked but if you spend time pruning your follows it can be really good after a few months weeding out the fags. If you really want to level up you will need to do it through self study. Build a cyber range, reverse malware, develop malware, do bug bounty on the side, learn underlying causes and categories of CVE's (CWE can help with this), vuln research (zero day hunting), HTB/THM labs, crackmes and other binary exploitation challenges, EDR evasion etc. The big plus to all this is that most of these activities are eventually monetizable.

This is false if you have a degree. I had two cybersecurity internships and both were paid ($15/hr & $25/hr). When I graduated I landed a job at just over 100k. Only cert I have is sec+. The key is lots of self study and getting to know the right people through clubs and internships. This industry is STARVED for people who know what they're doing. If you're competent you will be compensated accordingly.

I figured as long as you put the work in and were certified in some areas, once you got through one threshold doors would start opening. I am just worried about finding that initial job. Have you any experience with people with pretty much just a bootcamp certificate? I have an associates but it is pretty much useless for this.

>> No.51067328

>>51067120
Unfortunately no, pretty much every one I know has some kind of degree (or they are legit ex-cybercriminals lmao). It sucks, but degrees in tech definitely help. Will be hard, but see if you can build on your associates to get some kind of cyber (or ideally a CS) degree. I have heard some bootcamps are very good, but the #1 thing you need to strive for is real job experience, i.e. find some way to break into an internship.

I get what he is saying, and I agree. The main reason I want to do it is because I learn better in that environment when I don't know jack shit about the subject. Once I get a foothold I can learn easier on my own. To be fair also, the bootcamp I linked gives you the compTIA and the CySA.
