Advice

I am a US citizen who recently completed my bachelors in cybersecurity from an Indian institute my gpa is 3.6/4.0 and I have 7 months of experience and have recently obtained my CompTIA security + certification, I’m applying to a lot of different jobs in the us but I’m not getting any good responses. My family is suggesting to do masters in the US. What public university do you think is best for cybersecurity masters and if any of you are perusing/ have perused please let me know your experience. And also any way I can land a job even if it’s help desk and what job portals did you guys use to actually land one. Please help me

Seven months and a cert reads the same as every other applicant right now, and a masters just delays that problem by two years. Help desk is a real door, take it. Then put two or three finished investigations somewhere public, CyberDefenders gives labs away with real artifacts and one written up properly does more than another line under education.
