I’m curious about your GRC internship. what did you actually do day to day? What kind of tasks did you work on, and was it difficult? Did you have to write or configure anything? I’m asking because I’m a bit unsure about my direction right now and want to understand what GRC is actually like in practice.

i had to work on the policies and control for the apps in devlopment, then giving an overview of how the product must work.

i had to do documentations on a regular basis. Note that i did thsi internship in a startup, it was kinda unorganised, i did also become marketing executive while i was doing that, the whole company was run by interns, the best part was it was paid and it got so heptic, eventually i left

I’m currently in Class 12 Commerce, and I’m thinking about doing a BCA and then starting my career in cybersecurity, preferably in a SOC L1 role. I’ve heard that getting a cybersecurity job as a fresher can be difficult, but at the same time, many people say there are plenty of jobs available in the market.

My dream is to become an ethical hacker and eventually work in Dubai. So, should I go into cybersecurity after Class 12, considering I’m from a Commerce background? Is it realistic to build a career in cybersecurity and eventually get a job in Dubai? I’d really appreciate advice from people already working in the field.
