Naa breh, knock the one out that holds the most weight. My coworkers been Security Engineers fa mad long. Both got 10+ years of XP but be shook when I mention CISSP. That cert hold weight in these streets.




Too bad they dont know that its just the Security+ 2.0

Had to turn down a contract offer due to them wanting me to start tomorrow and I have a final interview for a permanent position on Friday. I thought I would get more time to mull over my options.

I passed the A+ 902

I'm finally A+ certified


Now I'm focusing finding a job.


But in the meantime I have already began studying for the Network+ exam.

Go from unemployed to turning down offers, brehs. Best feeling in the world

Was looking at the CompTIA CSA+ or CASP but I don't see them shyts in any job descriptions.

Same thing over here.

At the same time, Security ain't really my thing but after being in cybersecurity sales for over a year now, it might be smart to get something.

I'm MCSE already

I was looking into ISC CAP which focuses on Information Assurance but how much weight does it hold ?

I'm curious to know how many people have the CISSP or have taken the test. From what I heard it's a beast.

The CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) is the most sought after vendor neutral Information Assurance cert.

Thanks for the link.

I have the CISA down the line, I don't have the required experience yet.

The only reason why I'm looking at CAP is that first off I have the required experience, second I am fairly familiar with some of the content and third the training is pretty cheap.

I'm still looking but CAP might be the best choice for 2017.

Reasons as to why for this suggestion, just curious

Cost: Network+ $294.00 vs. CCENT $125.00

The Network+ is not a prerequisite for other tests. It does not bring you closer to a higher goal; whereas the CCENT is the foundation for all of the CCNA/CCNP tracks.

Measure twice, cut once.

After doing some research that seems like the best path for me to take. Especially by passing the 100-105 ICDN1 I will have the CCENT.

I see that I would only have to pass the 100-105 ICDN1 and 200-105 ICDN2 to get my CCNA.
