Any feedback/experiences to help transition into cybersecurity

I appreciate your helpful spirit today! I’m glad I caught you on the right day. I appreciate the links provided and thoughtful advice, and I was contemplating starting a Transparent Thursday thread where people ask for help and guidance no matter what the day is! Could be beneficial, you never really know. I’ll check out the links, but this post was more so seeking a community, any tips to the trade that people have found through their own experiences, and maybe just some stories. I’m all set for this class, and have received very similar advice in the past, but the stories and general day-to-day stuff is what actually helps people get into new career paths. You can go through these certs and get your degree, but where you land a job is where you career begins. Some people get stuck doing the same thing in their field for years without a transition, some get thrown in a big mix of it all. That’s what I want to hear. Thanks for the time spent and answering some of the post though!
