Entry Level Positions

I know this gets asked a lot but I don’t know many cybersecurity people and don’t know much about the market in the US.

A bit more about my profile:

Int student, senior studying CS w Security Concentration graduating this December at a T15 CS school

2 previous internships:

Detection and Response Intern at a bank in home country

Incident Response Intern at a Top Financial Services Firm in the US

Research in AI and Security

And one upcoming internship at a Big 4 as a cybersecurity consultant.

I don’t have any certs but planning on getting Sec+ this summer. Also my GPA is not good lol.

The question is, am I in a good position to find a decent cybersecurity job (such as analyst or even cybersecurity consultant), or I would still need some experience in help desks. Sorry this might sound stupid but I really don’t know much about the market, I think all the people I’m around are trying to be SWEs and don’t have any friends in cybersecurity.

Thank you all!!
