Hi Everyone

My organization is sponsoring Google Professional certificates (Coursere based) on multiple technologies like Cyber Security, Data Analyticsetc..

I want to switch my technology and want to learn CyberSecurity. However, total duration for course is around 150+ hours..

Want to know fellow colleagues thoughts whether it is worth to attend the course ??
I've 10+ years of experience in Linux Administration.
Is it possible to switch after attending Google cert course ?
Please suggest.

150 hours is too long. Can I know what all they are covering? You may need to select specific domain within cyber security. Eg., GRC or vulnerability management, application security, SOC, Threat hunting etc

You are already in a higher package with respect to cyber security. So in switching to cyber security is a new begining for you. You may need to select the domain within this cyber security

Looking for some advice - I'm thinking about going back to school in the next few years for my MBA and I'm wondering if I should stay at my firm for another year until I get promoted to consultant (level that most MBAs come in as) or if I should not bother and leave next year as a Senior Associate? I want the MBA for networking/taking a break from work and I also want to switch into marketing ideally.
