| ==== Topics Discussed | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| * Chintan Gurjar shared insights about cybersecurity certifications and their role in the industry. | ||||||
| ** He discussed the difference between certifications in coding versus cybersecurity, noting that unlike coding fields like Java where there aren't world-wide recognized certifications, cybersecurity has established certification programs. | ||||||
| ** Chintan explained why certifications matter in cybersecurity, especially for consulting companies. | ||||||
| *** He shared his personal experience: during his first 5 years, he didn't believe in certifications and didn't have any. | ||||||
| *** When he landed his 3rd job at KPMG New Zealand, his boss explained the value of certifications from a business perspective. | ||||||

Maybe this is not needed ? |
||||||
| ** Chintan explained how certifications are used in project proposals and client acquisition. | ||||||
| *** When competing for projects, consulting firms (including Big 4 companies) showcase their team's credentials. | ||||||
| *** Companies highlight how many OSCP-certified or CEH-certified professionals they have to demonstrate expertise to potential clients. | ||||||
| *** This portfolio of certifications helps firms win projects, which is why companies are often willing to pay for employee certifications. | ||||||
| ** The discussion covered differences in interview processes between coding and cybersecurity roles. | ||||||
| *** For coding positions, companies typically give coding tasks (like LeetCode problems) where they can observe thought process, methodology, and coding skills directly. | ||||||
| *** In cybersecurity, the interview process is more complex due to multiple sub-domains (VAPT, GRC, Threat Detection Engineering, etc.). | ||||||
| *** For VAPT roles, setting up vulnerable infrastructure for technical interviews requires significant maintenance and management overhead. | ||||||
| *** For GRC roles, there's often no technical component to assess, making it harder to evaluate candidates. | ||||||

There was a problem hiding this comment. Write Write like this for GRC and other abbreviations too which are not so generic or if they are domain specific. |
||||||
| *** For specialized roles like Threat Detection Engineering, setting up interview infrastructure would be prohibitively expensive and complex. | ||||||
| ** Chintan emphasized that certifications should be viewed as a tiebreaker, not the primary hiring criterion. | ||||||
| *** The hiring process should start with resume-based analysis of 6-7 candidates, followed by interviews. | ||||||
| *** If multiple candidates perform equally well, certifications can serve as a differentiator. | ||||||
| ** Key takeaway: The main goal should be to learn cybersecurity; certifications should act as proof of knowledge, not the primary learning objective. | ||||||
