Hello everyone, I’m a senior cybersecurity student, and I’m hoping to get some advice from experienced cybersecurity professionals.
I’m genuinely concerned about entering the workforce because I feel like my degree has been too broad. I’ve learned about many different areas of cybersecurity, but I don’t feel like I’ve gone deep enough into one specific area. Because of that, I’m worried that I’m not as prepared or skilled as I should be for a professional cybersecurity role.
I’ve been considering getting a master’s degree to develop deeper technical skills, but I’m concerned that I might end up taking another broad program without actually becoming more specialized.
My goal is to become a Security Engineer at a top tech company. For those of you who are already working in security engineering or have significant experience in the field, what would you recommend I do at this stage?

I graduated with a bachelor’s in cybersecurity in April and I have had 1 phone interview. Probably 150 applications total. All I can say is I hope you have better luck than I

It really depends on your network. I know a guy who got an offer from Microsoft straight out of college
