[QUOTE="hackinzoomer, post: 9138, member: 145"] If you're entry-level cybersecurity with a clean record, look for anything involved with the government. The government and their contractors are required to do cybersecurity for compliance, and usually they can only hire Americans because of regulations. The closest thing they can get to Indians is low-wage entry-level employees, so they fill up their ranks with them. Most of the people I've met who work at these places hate their job and do nothing particularly interesting, but it's an easy way to get enough experience to start somewhere better. Also remember that no business actually cares about cybersecurity. It's just something they have to do that costs them money. What they really want is someone who looks good on paper and can keep them at bare minimum compliance to make stakeholders happy. If you're able to contribute in ways that generate revenue, then you'll be insanely valuable. [/QUOTE]
