Help me choose a career path
I've graduated last month from college and have been learning cybersecurity for the last 6 months. I have the knowledge of Linux basic, some networking and pentesting tools along with 1 project. Now the main problem is that cybersecurity is not an entry level field, I've seen job postings of SOC Analyst (L1) which needed atleast 1-2 YOE.
I want to get into tech but I lack software/coding knowledge. I was thinking of taking the NOC engineer path and then eventually switch to a cybersecurity role after some experience.
How practical does this sound? Any suggestion or guidance would be appreciated!!
I know my current knowledge and project is not enough for me to land a job. I'm just confused on where to continue building my skills - Networking or Cybersecurity?
People working in these fields, please guide me.
