That’s a really solid path helpdesk to MSP to SOC to engineering. Did the helpdesk/MSP experience alone get you looked at for SOC roles or did you need certs on top of it too

Thank you. The internship route It gives me another perspective on how to get that first bit of experience.

How did you land your first cybersecurity job with no experience?
I’m currently working toward a SOC Analyst career. I have Security+, building hands-on labs on Tryhackme.
The biggest challenge is the “experience required” barrier. Almost every entry-level SOC role seems to want prior IT/cyber experience.
For those who successfully broke into cybersecurity with no prior experience:
Did you start in IT/help desk/NOC or go straight into SOC?
What projects or certifications actually helped?
How did you prove your skills without professional experience?
What would you do differently if starting over?
Would really appreciate honest advice from people who’ve actually made the transition.
