This is my second year working in a SOC for one of the biggest tech consulting companies , before this I worked at a NOC. I don’t have a science degree. I’m 24->25 , need advice on what should be my next move career wise and education wise ; I’ve been contemplating getting my masters in cyber , many have told me I don’t need it . Any help is very much appreciated

A cyber masters is not a bad idea especially if you’re looking to get into CISO roles at some point. Certs are great for early career but a lot of F500 companies still look at grad degrees for leadership roles

What B1 said. Experience and certs alone can take you all the way to SOC manager, but to be a CISO, an MBA and cyber experience is the best way to go. If however, your goal is cyber thought leadership, then a master's in cyber from a leading program will give you the credentials you need and the depth of research in one particular aspect of cyber to hone your professional point of view.

Leadership positions in Infosec / cyber for past 15+ years.. no degree at all. As others have mentioned it’s only probably keeping me out of c suite - and I’m not looking to take home that much stress every night anyway.

I would appreciate any input!!!!

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

Just hit 1 year as a bdr at my company, and I wanted to hear opinions on the position I was put in.

I was 1 of 2 out of 30 on my team to hit quota last half. I was told to expect a promotion to enterprise BDR and a pay raise, with a slightly lower quota. Instead I got no title change, no new letter, my quota increased 58%, and I can only work enterprise accounts. I now have the highest quota in the company, most difficult job, as one of the lowest paid bdrs. Does any of that sound normal?
