Original caption
I wish someone would’ve told me this when I was trying to break into cybersecurity. You don’t need to know everything before you start. Focus on building the right foundation, stay consistent, and don’t let all the opinions online convince you that you’re already behind. If you’re serious about starting a career in IT or cybersecurity, I’ve put together the roadmap I wish I had when I started. 👇 Link in my bio to get started. #CyberSecurity #ITCareer #techcareers
