I’m a recent graduate in a cyber analytics consulting role with a traditional business background, is Security+ a must have certification? Would you consider Network+ a critical prerequisite?

They might help establish your knowledge base when recruiting but I never heard another firm mention them while interviewing either, most just focus on the CISSP, CISM, or CISA

I’m currently taking a Security+ course for the exam and I will say, unless you’re familiar with networking/basic computing concepts from school, network+ is a great course to build knowledge on. The cert isn’t as important as being able to demonstrate that you have foundational knowledge. Take it for yourself (I was lucky and could expense mine) and then focus on SANS classes focused more on what type of work you do

Hope that made sense!

Hi fishes,

I just got an offer from Morgan Stanley. The offer is indeed handsome and provides other benefits as well. The problem is I just relocated to Pune for my wife's work, we have set up our house here and now if I accept offer I again have to relocate to Bangalore because they aren't offering WFH. What should I do? I know Morgan Stanley is a very reputed firm and might make an enormous impact in my technical growth, but is it worth taking the pain of relocation again?? I am confused.

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
