People who think that 'gatekeeping' in cybersecurity is a negative thing, particularly in positions requiring a high degree of competence, are frequently the least skilled. Cybersecurity should not be considered an entry-level part of the industry.

Hands-on experience beats everything in the cybersecurity industry.
If you're offered a job that may not seem like your ideal role:
Consider taking it away.
Gaining that initial experience can make it easier to pivot around.

Do you consider the "freemium" model to be free?
I ask this because a lot of businesses will use this model to claim, that they are in fact a free service.
@danielmakelley
Anyone with an Internet connection can get into cybersecurity with nothing but a laptop:
@rootme_org is free.
@LetsDefendIO is free.
@Vulnmachines is free.
@hackthebox_eu is free.
@RealTryHackMe is free.
@OverTheWireCTF is free.
The resources are already out there.

You don't need someone that's highly regarded in cybersecurity to help you.
Instead, speak with someone who is a few steps ahead of you.
This is true for any profession.

@rootme_org

"How do I get started in cybersecurity?"
It's quite simple, you start by starting.
- Advice is not starting.
- Planning is not starting.
- Information is not starting.
None of these things are starting.
The only way you can learn how to do something, is by doing it.
