One of the best books I ever read about getting into cyber. I love the part about the best order of certificates to get in order to get further along your career or get started.

This info is fantastic and super easy to grasp. It's laid out logically, but it keeps things interesting and far from dry. Thank you all for writing and contributing to the book. #Team SC.

There are some useful tips in the book and sections of it are interesting, however the text is clearly directed towards the USA market. This should be made clear in the blurb. Not only the examples used throughout, but also the suggested cultural approach to situations and language expressions.There are also spelling inconsistencies throughout: resume vs. résumé.The writing and referencing styles used vary throughout. Fine, but when one of the authors switches to writing in the first person, it is not always clear who is talking, for example.Also, the text often refers the reader to diagrams where points are highlighted in red, say. My copy was all black and white, so I could not see what was intended to be highlighted to me in some of the diagrams / charts in distinguishing colours.Overall, I read the book cover to cover ... but there is a limit as to what I can further recommend in here to my colleagues.
