Transition From IT Support To Cybersecurity – Career Guide & Tips!

"Exciting" according to the tech influencers and YouTubers obsessed with pathways and certs to cyber security roles.

Ask any cyber security professional about how "exciting" their job is. Hours combing logs or writing reports. Even the penetration testers will tell you the job is 65% report writing and paperwork, and the rest is following a predetermined script/to do list of commands to input.

Have you ever worked specifically in Cyber? Or just generically IT? I like your content typically, but are you qualified to talk on this? Is this information based on experience, or just the typical popular info dump parroted around by IT influencers lately about different cert pathways or basic obvious skill requirements? I could make a video about becoming a heart surgeon that says "you need to learn a bunch of things like anatomy, medicine, the different systems of the body, especially the vascular system". You see how vague and uninformative that is? Where is the value to this video? This just perpetuates poor expectations and understandings for aspiring Cyber Sec professionals. You didn't mention the state of the Cyber job market once. The statistics are everywhere. Just all hypothetical fluff.

Again, your content is usually good. But don't fall for the YouTube content trap.
