If I had to start my cybersecurity career over in 2026, there are a few things I would do differently. In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, I break down my full cybersecurity journey from joining the Air Force, earning Security+, Linux+, CCNA, CISSP, OSCP, and other certifications, becoming a penetration tester, building a YouTube channel, dealing with burnout, and pivoting into AI security. I share my biggest cybersecurity career regrets, what was actually worth it, what I would skip, and the advice I’d give to anyone trying to break into cybersecurity today.Connect---------------------------------------------------https://www.KyserClark.comhttps://www.KyserClark.com/Newsletterhttps://youtube.com/KyserClarkhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/KyserClarkhttps://www.twitter.com/KyserClarkhttps://www.instagram/KyserClarkhttps://facebook.com/CyberKyserhttps://twitch.tv/KyserClark_Cybersecurityhttps://www.tiktok.com/@kyserclarkhttps://discord.gg/ZPQYdBV9YYMusic by Karl Casey @ White Bat AudioAttention Listeners: This content is strictly for educational purposes, emphasizing ETHICAL and LEGAL hacking only.
