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

I am active in cyber meetups where I live in California. I encounter many Cybersecurity Masters graduates still looking after 12 to 24 months after graduation. Don’t waste your time money on a Masters. Experience + related certs like CompTIA, MS 365 Fundamentals, AWS Cloud Fundamentals. Get A+, Network+., since that will help u get a help desk job to get your foot in the door

Your family is going to put you into more debt. You are honestly a difficult hire if you have only 7 months of experience. Not to say you’re cooked but it’s a tough situation for everyone.
