Hey guys,

I’m originally from Nepal but currently living in the UK (I did my bachelor's in the UK as well), working in Cybersecurity for a US Fintech company. I’ve been following this sub for a bit and seeing a lot of posts about career confusion and the struggle to get into the international market.

I wanted to open up a thread to help out anyone who’s interested in Security or just curious about how things work in the US tech scene.

Happy to chat about:

• How to actually get into Cyber (it’s not just "hacking," as we know).
• Which certs are actually worth your money and which are a waste of time.
• Resumes and how to handle interviews for foreign companies.
• The reality of working in Fintech (compliance, stress, pay, etc.).

I remember how confusing it was when I was starting out back home, so feel free to ask anything. No such thing as a "stupid question."

Will try to reply to as many as I can between work!

Don't stress too much about the AI hype or having every single certification - just keep building, stay curious and focus on the fundamentals. > >Huss ta, GLHF.
