I don't know what course you are talking about but out of all the unofficial ones I've checked out there wasn't one that couldn't be replaced by some Googling. Cybersecurity is a very broad subject which requires different skillsets depending on the field you wish to make your own specialization, or at least your starting point. Are you more interested in getting into incident response, offensive security, bug hunting, network administration, or what else?
I'm currently studying for a penetration testing certification to help me break into the industry, I have some practical experience in the field but not a single piece of paper to show potential employers, so I haven't had much success in looking for a job still. Also keep in mind that personal experience is always very important, don't stop at the material the certification entity is giving you, take it two steps beyond and study as much as you can, maybe they won't reward you directly, but it'll allow you to distinguish yourself from the tens of thousands of people getting certified these days.
Well, Googling only helps in this case if you have a good basic understanding already, which I don't. At the time of writing my original posts I was going to do Coursera courses, but when I went to actually do them I noticed the ones I wanted were only part of a 7-day trial, not the 30-day one I thought. The 30-day ones didn't seem in-depth enough. I ended up going with a cheap site that has courses for basic stuff I need to know, all the way up to more advanced things.
As for what specific thing I've decided to go into, I don't know yet. I think I'll start as just an analyst, then probably see how it goes from there and aim for the certification that is desired for that area. I like the idea of pentesting, but from checking job listings it seems to require being able to code your own testing programs, which means I will not enjoy it as much as I think because I hate coding. Anything that involves puzzle solving without the need to code is ideal for me, and there's a few options in that regard.
Major issue I'm having atm is it seems the testing center is closed due to covid-19. Their site says until April 16th, but could be longer if the virus is still spreading like crazy then. Other issue is all of the jobs seem to be downstate, which is also where most of the outbreak is occurring. Basically, until this virus fucks off, I think it will be near impossible to get a job. The place I want to apply at first seems like a great opportunity because they hire people like me who are new to it and will help them advance through, even offering to pay for advanced certs if you end up staying with them. Plus, they have decent reviews. They don't say how much they pay in their listings, but if I start with them and commit as long as needed for them to pay for advanced certs, I can live off of the lower end of pay because again that's it's still double what I make now and then go for better jobs.
