    Meter: Visit https://meter.com/itcareer to book a demoCybersecurity is changing faster than ever — and the jobs of the future may not look like the ones you picture today. Everyone talks about hacking, red teaming, and pen testing, but there’s a side of cybersecurity that’s just as critical and often overlooked: GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance).In this episode, I sit down with @UnixGuy (Abed Hamdan) to talk about the future of cybersecurity, why GRC might be the biggest hidden career opportunity, and what it really takes to break into the field. We’ll cover who should consider GRC, the skills you need to succeed, and how AI and automation are reshaping the industry.Whether you’re brand new to tech or looking to pivot your career, this conversation will give you insider knowledge most people miss.🔗 Don’t wait—click here to start your tech career journey: https://thebeardeditdad.com/itcareeraccelerator/Exclusive Career Resources✅ Weekly Insider Tips: https://thebeardeditdad.ck.page/55f710292b🎧Listen to The I.T.

  • 100: I Became an IT Director with ZERO Degree or Certs
    Sep 2 2025

    Meter: Visit https://meter.com/ITCAREER to book a demoSeven years ago, I was sitting in the cab of a bulldozer at a pulp mill, covered in dust, thinking: “Is this really my future?”Three years later, I was the Director of Network Operations at a fiber ISP, earning six figures — without a degree, without certifications, and without prior IT job experience. And now, I’ve been thriving in that director role for nearly five years.Most importantly, I’ll share the lessons I learned along the way — and what I’d do differently if I had to start over today. If you’re stuck trying to break into tech, this video is for you.🔗 Don’t wait—click here to start your tech career journey: https://itcareeraccelerator.com/Exclusive Career Resources✅ Free Weekly Insider Career Tips: https://thebeardeditdad.ck.page/55f710292b🎧Listen to The I.T.
