This is a valuable resource for cybersecurity professionals at every stage in their career -- whether you're looking for your first job, your next job, or as a team leader looking to fill positions. I especially appreciated the authors' references to other books, giving me the freedom to dive deeper into related topics (sales, self-improvement, technical guides).

So I have been looking for a book that is made to ace (hack) a cyber security interview. People always ask me how they can better prepare for one. I had not seen a book that really went into it until I read this one! What will you get out of it ? You'll learn the types of roles that exist, what certs you may need for them, a rough range on compensation for each role. And, best of all practice interview questions and answers. This a GREAT guide and I recommend you grab this if you plan to interview for a job. This is the book I now pass on to my peers that are trying to enter into the cyber workforce!

I highly recommend this book. Spoiler alert: If you use the hack method described, know the interview questions likely for your chosen role, and practice the STAR method you’re off to a winning start. But what if you aren’t sure what a certain job is? Or how it differs from other roles? This book describes various cyber roles in a clear and concise manner. Getting a cybersecurity role isn’t always easy even for those already in the field. So, getting passed the interview is critical. This book takes a real-world approach that anyone can use no matter their level of experience.

All those times scrambling to look for information on possible interview questions ? Where have you been? Why wasn’t this published sooner? JK now Is the perfect time!This book has the answer to common interview questions basically to most of the domains of various cybersecurity roles, (entry or your next role) hould you wish to venture the route of pentesting, privacy, Governance or security auditing role! I am talking technical, as well as behavioral questions along with the essentials skills needed for each. Did I also mention how much you should expect to get paid for a role? (No secrets no pay gap)Thank you for the amazing and thoughtful forward and all of your authentic career gems and wisdom in your final thought shares at the back of the book. Thank you all for serving your community and for that I truly appreciate you!

I am looking at sales engineer jobs so this is helpful. I liked the general advice on interviews too because I normally don’t prepare as much as I probably should.I didn’t read every chapter yet, but overall a good book so far.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
