HF!!!! Good to be back, hope everyone is doing well.

Just wanted to give an update on my life since my past thread on getting back into offensive security.

I ended up getting a job offer months after my certification as help desk for a company!
although this is no where close to where I want to be, it's a start, and that is the hardest part.
Would love to assist anyone in any way I'm able in terms of answering questions having to do with the job search, as well as the actual difficulty of the job...or any other generic questions 😎

I will say my experience way back in the days on HF specifically, gave me understanding on a lot of IOT devices. Forever will be thankful and will give back at every opportunity i'm presented!

post an update on yourself below, would love to see what everyone has been up to :)

yours truly,

Sounds great, congrats on your success, how long did it take to complete the certificate?
Been thinking of going back to school too, not sure if I can get in though.

With a little previous knowledge it took me a total of about 3-4 months! Anyone can sign up for it and I would definitely recommend doing so if you're able :)
it's a little pricey but it's worth it in the long run 🙂

Damn homie! Sounds great to hear this. I am happy for you and hope you'll have more success! It's kinda fun to see how HF was positive in someone's life.

Keep us updated.

Usually have to start a desk job for any field you pursue. But the fact you got one right away is awesome.

Congratulations on your new chapter.
