Book Discussion: Jump-start Your SOC Analyst Career - Jarrett Rodrick, Tyler Wall - ESW #368

Three years after we last discussed this book on episode #221, Jarrett Rodrick returns, joined by co-author Tyler Wall to discuss an update of the book. We talk opportunities and layoffs. Career paths and experience. Degrees, certifications, and home labs. We talk about who cybersecurity is the right field for, and the pros and cons of the industry as a whole.

We also talk myths and reality about a cybersecurity career. Can you really make $100k just a few years in? Is it really an entry level field? Are you better off entering cyber from IT or the military?
