Cybersecurity Reddit is devolving between mid career IT with certs saying only degrees are getting hired and grads saying only certs and experience are getting hired - and I’m sorry but this is late stage capitalist hell, comrades. Only people with degrees plus experience and certs are getting hired
Of course when HR gets 400 qualified applicants for every entry level IT job they start cranking the requirement levers up to 11 in every area. There’s no financial incentive for them not to. Especially since the death of acknowledging talent from diverse backgrounds in America.
(Oh no not straight white dude nerds on Reddit not realizing their non traditional cybersecurity education is also diversity…)

@hacks4pancakes I always tell people:

  • You may be disabled and not even know it
  • You may be part of a minority you never heard about
  • You are a stranger nearly everywhere
@masek @hacks4pancakes you can get disabled at any point too. With no fault of your own. And that is so important to understand, yet so few do
@agathos @masek @hacks4pancakes I have a take on this when I bring up disability with peers.
Your child needs to be held while you're doing a chore. You are now disabled because your arm is now unavailable to assist or be used for said chore. This is Temporary Disability or circumstantial disability.
