3 周I have the certified DevSecOps Professional. What does the Application security master class entail
Application security engineer
3 周There’s something missing: Experience is the magic ingredient. Before you go and spend a million dollahs take in consideration that certificates alone won’t give you a job, neither will then make you capable of performing professionally. Training and certifications are one way of acquiring knowledge, but not necessarily how you land a +200k job… so I’d say abandon your plan of investing 10k upfront because in 3 months you think you’ll be a million dollar engineer :)
