Unable to clear the recruiter rounds due to lack of coding experience
Due to lack of coding experience (no coding), I am unable to get past the recruiter rounds for big companies. These interviews are for security profile but as automation is required in security nowadays, it's hard for me to lie and say I know coding just to get past the initial recruiter round. I have some solid networking, cloud and endpoint security experience. Should I stop applying and start learning python? Or should I look for a bigger company and join them and then look if I can learn coding side by side How much time would it take to learn Python if I am starting from the scratch? Can put in 5-6 hours a day when in the right frame of mind. 135k 6.5 years
Programming language doesn't matter. Just learn how to code in general but Python is a good starting point.
Learn C. It's a power move.
Should I start with C? Or python is good to start with? If I want to learn C where do I start? Also I want to be in Cyber security and I am learning python for automation and to sustain myself.. do you think C would be better?
The difference between the two as starting points is: Going from the ground up (Learning C and beyond), or starting from the top and digging downward (Learning Python and beyond). I personally learned C as my first programming language. This is a steeper starting point as it is a low level language and involves a heavy use of pointers. But you're forced to learn proper memory management, and a bunch of other things you dont have to consider with higher level languages. In terms of cybersecurity, I dont see it hurting ya to learn C, as you get to understand the computer at a lower level. In fact it may bolster your career. However, I am not a cybersecurity expert. You may have to ask around.
