I love Australia so much but I can't live with spiders
My friend is a cybersecurity specialist in Australia and she has told me that in IT sectors, sometimes they don't care much about your educational background and what matters the most is your working experience and I would say that it's true at some point. I have often seen people finishing MBA working as a fullstack developers, I have even seen one as a DevOps engineer in one bank after finishing an intense Bootcamp and learning course.
Just saw in one LinkedIn job offer section that the requirements for cybersecurity analyst was - A qualification or
equivalent work experience in Information Technology.
I have worked in many tech companies and I can tell you that knowing how to code is actually a minus in many of them, now I know it sounds very very weird, why would they want to hire a bad coder over a good coder if they are a tech company right? Well, it is simply because if you are a great coder, then you will leave soon, because it all depends on one of your projects that you develop in your free time to get accepted, and as soon as it is accepted then you will leave and make money from that.
Everyone is making mobile apps, websites, projects and what not. However, if you are a smart person who can barely code, they can teach you that and let you learn only the amount you need to and that’s about it, there is nothing else they will teach you, only the part you need to know for that position, which will keep you there longer. So, it is not a shock to hire non-coders to a coding position if they know just a tiny bit.
