Do any 🐠 know of cyber jobs willing to teach rather than expecting deep knowledge right away?
I spent two years in
EY’s tech risk practice where I experienced an apprenticeship-style culture. I had no audit nor tech background but I was willing to learn, and those above me were willing to teach. After studying for and passing the CISSP, I transferred to cyber but the expectation from managers was to have deep technical cyber knowledge, which I thought I would develop over time from experience.

Email me - let’s chat.
My calendar is a raging dumpster fire right now, but find a 30min slot. We’ve got a lot of stuff in the pipeline.

I look for crazy amounts of hustle, zero shame re: admitting you don’t know, a willingness to ask for help, a willingness to network and then leverage that network.

I can teach what I know and leverage my network for what I don’t. I prefer to grow my own awesome peeps and regularly hire on potential.

Which area of cyber did you transfer to/are interested in?

Transferred to SRC&R. Haven’t been exposed to other areas, so not sure exactly which other areas interest me.

Echo what PwC1 said, few free to DM me

Where are you located!? If in Toronto we can talk - but in general a lot of industry Jobs look for that level of detail. Keep looking at general consulting firms, rather than more specific areas. Focus on cybersecurity risk positions if they are out there where you are.

C1 I am moving to Toronto area soon on a study permit. Are you guys willing to apply for work permit for international students and provide support for PR. I have 10+ years of cyber security experience including hands on implementation work.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side.

My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
