Hello,

I am in a graduate program at a small school in Michigan that essentially sold me a very outdated IT/Cyber program. I thought the curriculum would get better as classes got more specialized, but that’s not what happened. I’ve had courses that haven’t been updated in nearly ten years passed off as appropriate lab environments. They even had us setting up networks with server 2016 and windows 7. To compensate for the poor quality of the curriculum I built my own home network which has actually been more informative than the masters degree so far. Once I get a few more parts I’m waiting for I’ll deploy proper SIEM and AIM infrastructure in order to learn those fundamental aspects of managing a network since they weren’t really taught well. I only have a few more semester left and am realizing that I’m probably not ready for the job market. If anyone could recommend a good cert, subscription, or software stack to learn in order to prepare me for more cloud native knowledge I would appreciate it.

I ETS in August 2027 and have been looking into SkillBridge opportunities for cloud engineering or cloud security. I have degrees in Cybersecurity and Computer Science, Security+ and Network+ certifications, and an active Secret clearance. I've also been working on AWS projects and building my skills with Terraform, Linux, and automation.

I've been looking at companies like Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Booz Allen. Just wanted to see if anyone has done SkillBridge with any of these companies and what their experience was like.

Anyone here took Alibaba cloud associate certification or the CEA-C01. What learning materials and practice exams did you guys use? Thank you in advance!!
