Did it last year, if you don’t have solid command line skills I’d recommend getting on that before your time starts. You live on it

You're in cyber defense? Or cloud? My buddy took it and said it's way harder than CISSP. Is ACN paying for the test or training?

Bunch of friends took it. Fun test that is basically 100% hands on. Not at all like the cissp or most security certs

@A1yes, they are paying for both. CISSP was a joke I finished it in 85 min. Was wondering if anyone has any tips besides “try harder”? I’m excited to take it but don’t want to fail lol

@slalom, are ur buddies at ur firm or different? If at same how much pen testing do u guys do?

We dont do pen testing.
My friends that were studying for the ocsp (or have it) work mostly for red teams.
They said that knowing linux, python, some assembly was a plus.

Also they all expected to fail the first time so that took the pressure off

@PwC1im good with command line. What office are you out of? Tyson’s?

Got my OSCP 3 years ago on my 2nd attempt. Failed the first time around by about 5 points. Extremely technical and hands on exam. Definitely a differentiator when staffing pentest engagements. Our internal pentest group of 20 odd people all have their oscp and most of us are working on our osce. We’ve won large scale pentest engagements over other big 4 competition due to this cert

I should add that the exam is entirely command line based and I literally didn’t use a single GUI based tool for it I would recommend going with the 90 day lab option so you get the maximum possible time to prep for the exam

Yes hard as fuck but doable just study up and take ass and kick names

Good luck. I've been looking at it too.
@slalom do you guys do forensics or cloud security work

I’m at very low point in my life. Being rejected and rejected time and time again for jobs after graduating from college in 2021 wasn’t something I was prepared for. At least for this long.

My birth mom is deceased, my step mom is deceased, I don’t have a relationship with my father and most of my siblings are fending for themselves. It’s hell. And I’m constantly reminded how behind I am by family.

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own?

1st of all: I’m super inspired by this bowl. I’m now mid-30s and recently went 50+ days without drinking and felt good/productive. (Longest streak since before turning 21) But how do you stick with it? I’m conflicted bc I haven’t hit a “rock bottom” and part of me loves a glass of wine to unwind and mark the end of the workday, but I also have a hard time stopping once I start (no such thing as 1 glass). Feel boarder-line between these 2 worlds and unsure where to go. Anyone feel similar?
