I have a bachelors in computer science and a masters in cybersecurity. With two 6 month internships one after bachelors and one after masters. Generally I was told that usually you get a job and then companies sponsor the certifications considering they're so expensive. Since the job market is so bad now I'm gonna do Sec + in a couple months. Apparently you get the certificates only after you have at least a year of experience but I'm kinda at the end of the line. Spending hours and hours on applications only to get ghosted or rejected immediately is insane.

I wanted to do CEH and also finish a+ and network +. I don't mind paying and I like this field so I don't mind studying either. Im genuinely panicking and my last thought was to just stack up certificates. But then what's the point of I don't have work experience but I get no job to get a work experience😭. I know I'm whining but I'd really like some direction on whether this is a good choice.

I'm just wondering if even with the certifications it will still be hard to land a job and then I'd have just wasted money for nothing because the certifications expire in two years.

Degree don't really matter these days as much as I've seen or been told. I was wondering if these certifications will have ANY effect on the prospect of me getting a proper job? With the way things are going I won't be surprised if it didn't or if I land another internship even with all the certifications. This job market has left me with no expectations atp.

I wanna be able to wfh in a year or two after I get a job. Or a wfh job. But at this point I'd be grateful for just a job in my field that isn't intern level salary for an analyst role.

If anyone has any advice please help me out. Thanks!!

I'm flying (Ryanair) from Germany to Spain on a multi entry visa. Im a non UK resident. I'm staying with a friend and I showed a hotel booking for the visa. And I cancelled it a couple days ago before the date ended. I was supposed to be in Adra with my friend and her family but she got a job recently and moved to Granada. I will still stay with her in Granada.

I was wondering what the process when I land in Spain is like? When I got from the UK to Germany I did the EES registration and went to passport check. they checked passport and asked why I'm visiting and very basic questions like how long I'm staying and which city I'm staying in and if it was my first time travelling to Europe.

When I land in Spain would it be a similar process?
Will they ask about my accommodation in Spain? (That's my only concern 😭)

I know Germany and Spain are both within Schengen area and I was told it wouldn't be required. But I'm a bit confused and would like some confirmation whether my accommodation will be checked

Thank you!!
