How bad is the cybersecurity job market today? (self.cybersecurity)

After 15 years as a distiller/whiskey maker, I’m ready for a complete career change. I was thinking about taking some of the cybersecurity courses through Cisco and Google but I’m also seeing that there maybe a job shortage. Is this going to be a waste of my time?

I have over 15 years of professional sys admin experience with a large org, but I got out of it and I've been running an IT repair shop for the last 7. If I was looking to get back into things on the CS side, can you recommend a place (cert maybe?) to start?

If I were jumping back in right now, I would focus on cloud. Pick azure or AWS and do as many of the low level certs I can until I get a company to pay for the higher ones. If you specifically want security I would start learning Python too.

Every dang thing is cloud now, some people think we will pull back from cloud slightly, but I think that is just wishful thinking.

Oh weird… I was wondering why I was suddenly getting ad after ad for AWS. The algorithm read your comment before I did haha. Is AWS more for experienced people?

[–] sc2pirate 1 points 5 months ago

They are quick lol. Nah, AWS and Azure are just two different brands of the same(ish) priduct. There are others too, but those are the big players. Getting the cloud fundamentals cert (or cloud practitioner for AWS) are very similar. That is another reason I would wait to really specialize until you are with a company and you know what they use. The basic building blocks are pretty similar between the two though.
