How to get into cybersecurity?
Hello, I’m a college student and I’m currently looking into a career path in cybersecurity. I recently took a computer science course at school and was intrigued with the skills I developed in that course. I was hoping you could answer the following questions: What degree route you took to get into cyber security? What degree you have? What school you went to and how you passed the GCIH exams? What position did you start off with and where you’re at now?
How to get a 100% remote cybersecurity job as a fresh college graduate? How to develop those skills and I have 0 years of experience
Hi everyone, I’m Vidhi, and I’m about to graduate from OSU Ecampus with a degree in Computer Science. As we all know, the job market is tough right now, especially for fresh graduates without strong industry experience. I’m very interested in securing a 100% remote cybersecurity role since there are no tech companies near me, and I prefer not to relocate. I understand that referrals and LinkedIn networking are key, but I also want to build the right skills and earn certifications that will make a strong impression on recruiters and increase my chances of getting hired. Any advice on the best skills to focus on or the most valuable cybersecurity certifications for entry-level roles? Which is better hackthebox or tryhackme. Are they even worth it? Do recruiters care?
What can I do to prepare and acquire a cyber security internship?
I'm halfway through my first year in my Cyber Security Master's program and I want to take any necessary steps to obtain the experience that I need to acquire a great job after graduation.

I would appreciate any advice I can get to better prepare myself and stand out in this competitive field.
