Mike Meyers' CompTIA Security+ Certification Passport, Sixth Edition (Exam SY0-601)

Clearances are a property of the DoD, not the company. As long as the job your working requires a clearance, you're good. If not, it expires after 2 yrs or less of un-usage, depending on what clearance level you have
Internally yes, but not for government contracting company transfers.

For cleared job seekers, the question frequently arises – will the security clearance I already have transfer to my next position? Because a security clearance is attached to a position and not a person, it doesn’t exactly ‘transfer,’ but your next company should be able to easily reinstate the clearance. The 13 adjudication guidelines are identical across federal agencies. Security clearance reciprocity has also been heavily emphasized in security clearance reform and cost-savings initiatives. The Office of Management and Budget provides reciprocity guidelines with the goal of ensuring new security clearance investigations are only conducted when they’re required.

The good news is your clearance remains ‘current’ for a period of two years. So assuming you’re looking to go directly from one position to another at the same clearance level, your new company should be able to easily re-instate your clearance for your new position. If you’re moving to a new position supporting the same federal agency (which will pull from the same database), the job should be easier.
That reinstatement has fees attached also.

Cool drop
 
Any suggestions for acquiring the 50 CEU's to renew your Security+ Certification?
From my experience the company you work for normally supply it. Other than that it's education you have acquired related to Security +. If your company don't pay for it get another certification like Cloud+ or Network+. That will renew Security + and you will have an additional certification.

**EDIT**
If you have Comptia Security + log into your account. There's a tab you go to that will tell you how to obtain the CEU's

Thanks Fam. I took the exam today. There is a lot of material in this drop that is word for word. The only thing it don't help with are the exam simulators. I just skipped those and didn't even bother to answer. The exam simulators account for a lot of points. That's why the score was so close but I knew I had enough to pass.

Congrats good brother.
 
Seriously. We need a cert thread or area on BGOL. There are people looking to get in the field that could use guidance. There are others looking to better themselves that could use direction. There is a guy on Youtube I have followed named Duan Lightfoot. He has good content. He has been making great videos lately.




Great drop. I have been thinking for awhile. Where to get started in I.T.
 
I started a SA Supervisor position in ATL, starting salary in the upper 70's requiring only experience and Security+. Easy job basically sitting on my ass all day browsing BGOL until I get a request. I also have 2 other sources of income. Well over 6 figures after taxes(I just wanted to put that out there:cool:).

proos to you bro
Over 20 years. I took the last 4 years off when I moved to Atlanta(Snellville). In February I completed a IT boot camp for a refresher and Recertified Security+. I have several other certifications on my resume to include CCNA which I let expire because I won't be getting back in networking. At least not right now. SA is what I like doing. Easy and simple.

For those who are trying to start over or find a career, this is the fastest way to go. With zero IT experience or knowledge, you can earn your CompTIA or CCNA in less than 2 months and only pay for the exam.

Many will say the CCNA is better, and it arguably is. But, it is also slightly more difficult than the CompTIA certification and requires a tad bit more study/ preparation time. Nonetheless, both are very good first IT certifications.

You can land a help desk job as soon as you are done and start working on a complementary certifiction to add to your resume.

Come on guys, you can do this!!!! No excuses!! You can change your life and the life of your family before the end of the year.

As someone who holds a CCNA and almost a CCNP, I would suggest a person get the AZ-900 Fundamentals. Matter of fact, Microsoft is giving free training and exam vouchers to anyone who signs up for the 2 day course. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/trainingdays
A passed exam should help a person get into the help desk. I would then get a $13 dollar AZ 104 course from Udemy and buy the book from Amazon for $40. You will be a cloud admin and will be on your way to 6 figures in a few short years.

Thanks for passing the AZ-900 information on.

You are 100% correct. Cloud administration is where it's at.

As someone in texh, why do you suggest Azure over Amazon or Google. I heard all are valuable certifications. Just wondering your thoughts

I think AWS and google are important as well. Its just they are doing AZURE training for free.
 
Gotcha. Could you share the link? I looked for it and haven't found it yet.

The link for free training is above. Just click register and enter your information. They also have MS data and AI fundamental courses as well for free and with vouchers.
 
I have his CBT he does for this course.....I like him but those damn Indians they have you can't understand LOL
 
I was on my way in the computer field. My plan was Computer Science degree plus CompTIA certifications plus going for CCIE.
I was going to college for Computer Science (I was told one of my classmates makes $300,000+/per year and made $10 million+ since 2008. I heard another Computer Science classmate makes $100,000+ per year. I only heard about those two. I don't know about anyone else.).

I had to drop out because I couldn't think. (Racist Air Force assholes messing with brain control equipment). :curse: So that's my story.

I was going to go for Computer Science degree, all them CompTIA and Cisco certifications and followup with a Law degree. I wasn't fuckin around.

But I guess it wasn't meant to be.:dunno:

It's not over.

You can knock out one of these certifications in a few weeks and start the new year with a new career.

As the other poster shared, cloud tech is the next wave.
 
Unless you looking for management you can kill that CS degree and just focus on the certs and experience..

and for those companies that pay good salaries, you don't want to be in management. you'll be a drunk in 6 months...

Focus on doing...
