  • Don’t spend too much money on certs. Employers should be paying for that. Maybe get Sec+ on your own dime (or if you can get your current employer to pay for it), but hold off on the more advanced and expensive certs until you find a job that pays for it.

    The homelab is a great idea. If you want to get into a SOC role, maybe try setting up security onion, alienvault, ELK, or any of the opensource log analysis tools out there; and you can use the experience to demonstrate your knowledge on interviews.


  • Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but similar to how you don’t need to disclose alimony when applying for a mortgage, it’s more on the type of debt. Yes it’s still debt at the end of the day and certainly impacts your ability to pay a loan, but most reasonable people and proponents of universal healthcare push for it to not be considered a factor when assessing one’s credit worthiness because of how destructive it is. Healthcare is something that cannot be avoided, unlike non-essential credit card debt from shopping for example.

    I’m kinda rambling as I can’t really say exactly what I want to say, but hopefully someone who can explain it better can chime in.
