landing a remote Vulnerability Management role
I’m graduating with a BS in Cybersecurity and Networking in October.
I currently have my A+ and Security+, and Ill have CySA+ and PenTest+ completed before graduation.
I also have 2 CVEs. 6yrs in the Navy and 2 yrs with the Feds
I cannot relocate. I am exclusively targeting remote Vulnerability Management or Threat Intelligence roles in the mid-west.
What is the most effective way to stand out for remote VM or CTI roles right now? Are hiring managers prioritizing specific enterprise scanner experience (Tenable/Nessus/Qualys) that I should be building out in a homelab??
Any advice on how to successfully bypass the traditional helpdesk pipeline and make a strong case for these specific remote roles would be highly appreciated.
I'm in my early 30s and my options are the the FBI or a decent security role. My wife does NOT want the FBI. Id be open to anything 90k+.
