Listen. If you want to stand out, it is MANDATORY to learn outside of work. I would not have got the job I have if I didn’t do any extra learning at home. LAB AT HOME then try to bring it into your work or create a “work” environment

If you could restart your tech journey with the knowledge you know now. How would you start? I would personally get the security+, learn vmware, get a linux cert,and push to be a linux admin. Then go into cloud technologies, then go into security.
