@foosedev it's called gatekeeping and it's a lie. Speaking as a hiring manager who has hired people in to cybersecurity roles who had zero tech experience on their resume, I can confirm this.

In fact in this episode of the #GetHiredChallenge I actually addressed this gatekeeping directly. Can tech experience be helpful in finding and succeeding in that first job? Yes. Is it required? No.
