I was excited to receive the card and just finished activating it!
Was hoping that the card would have the name of the business account written on it somewhere but it’s just my name with a small “business” on the top left. Exactly like our other EQ Personal Banking cards.
Anyway, time to start porting over service payments to this card!
Just got an email stating the Business Card is now available. Went into the app and signed up to receive it. Should be here next week. Been waiting for this since 2025. The business card will make paying for goods and services as a business, frictionless.
Anybody else ordered theirs? How excited are you!
I have a small business that I’ve been working on for the better part of a year, but always had a painful experience applying for other business cards. When EQ launched theirs, I was hopeful that we’d get a card eventually. Well, eventually has come!
Nothing standing in my way from growing this business now!!! Full speed ahead.
What the hell is going on? On a Saturday night? There is no maintenance ever done on a weekend.
Hey all,
I acquired an ISC2 CC in Nov 2025. Recently in May 2026 I acquired the INE eJPT. I am currently working on a Cyber Defence Analyst program which provides ~59 transfer credits to a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity degree at Purdue Global University (this means I only have to complete ~121 more credits, or, 1/3 complete, 2/3 remaining). I’ll likely start there in August 2026 or else November 2026. If I do start in November, then from August to November I plan to study for and pass the OSCP. If I start in August then I will do the OSCP at some point during the 2026/2027 Christmas holidays.
By mid-2027 I should have:
ISC2 CC Certification
INE EJPT Certification
BSc Cybersecurity Degree
OSCP Certification
I have tech adjacent work experience in startups from 2021-2023. 2023-2025 I spent time self learning web programming and networking. 2026 I built an enterprise gear laden home production and home lab network. Now I’m working on gaining the degree and the certifications.
Am I on the right track, education and certificate wise, to be able to land ANY role in IT/Cybersecurity by mid-2027 at 30 years old?
Hey everyone,
I’ll be applying to Purdue’s BSc Cybersecurity program in August or October. I had a few questions:
- Is Canadian tuition the same as American tuition?
- How fast can one generally complete 116.5 credits? Would 2-4 x 10 Week Terms suffice? (I have nothing else to do).
- Can I pay for tuition with a credit card?
- If I choose the CISSP concentration would it show CISSP concentration on the degree? (Are concentrations listed on a degree in general?)
- Has anyone else here taken the BSc Cybersecurity degree and has any thoughts on it vs. WGU?
Thanks for your time.
What is the general consensus on what to do as someone who is working towards finding a role in security/IT/networking at an AWS Summit? I notice a few cybersecurity / networking vendors will be giving talks.
I want to network with some teams and perhaps understand more about what they’re looking for in an employee.
Is it possible to take any certification attempts on site, is there training? Are there certification vouchers you can purchase for a lower cost than online?
There’s a couple of interesting talks I’d like to attend as well.
Is it just more about interacting with vendors?
Hi everyone, I received my CC back in 2025 and people have always said “it’s a useless free cert” which I never considered to be the case.
You actually learned a lot of the industry lingo with the CC. You were taught facets of the industry that you could enter. It gave you a world view, in part of the, of the entire cybersecurity industry.
It also opened you up to an entry level insight into various technologies and protocols that make up the bedrock of I.T. and Cybersecurity, such as the OSI model, IDS/IPS/HB-IPS, HB-IDS, networking fundamentals, how the internet works, and it delved into compliance, governance and incident response as well as the business decisions behind certain technical architecture designs.
Now that the certificate is no longer free, do you believe the stigma with it being a free certificate will go away? It is now $200 USD, for every attempt, plus the cost of training and the annual monetary fee of $50 to maintain the certificate status. This means to maintain this certificate for 3 years it will cost you $200+Training+$150=$350+Training.
This pushes other certificates like CompTIA and Cisco entry level certificates, cost wise, which are in fact recognized and recommended widely.
