Hi guys, my name is Jose. I'm currently a Mobile Expert for T-Mobile, but recently started school again and plan on getting my Bachelor's Degree in Cybersecurity. Would like some help in how to go about this career change and what I can do to ease my way into the IT career pathway while going to school.

I was fortunate enough to work my way in to the field without a degree and can say certifications are a great way to attract recruiters attention. The CompTIAs are good and the CISSP is considered by many to be equivalent to a masters though I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration.

Look into Network + and Security + from CompTIA. They are great entry level certs and give you a solid foundation.

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?
