I wonder if they'd be open to someone with a non-traditional background. I'm from a physics background and have recently started looking into cybersecurity. Would someone like me stand a chance?

@qbit Most companies, especially those in the cybersecurity space, are generally open to candidates with varied backgrounds as long as you can demonstrate a genuine interest and expertise in the role. Your physics background could be a nice bonus, as understanding complex systems and logic are valuable to cybersecurity analysis. Just ensure you can showcase your skills and interest in the field.

For anyone interested in applying, I researched their hiring process. It seems like they have an online technical assessment, followed by an interview with a team member who evaluates your approach to problem-solving. If you pass, they invite you on-site to meet the team and discuss your role further. Good luck!

I considered applying for the Security Analyst position last year, but I wasn't sure if I was quite ready for the responsibility. I might regret not taking a chance. It's fascinating to see how CyberCops is growing! Any advice would be appreciated for future opportunities.

@antivirusannie I'd recommend reaching out to a current or former CyberCops employee, like through LinkedIn! They could provide you an inside perspective and help you prepare for future opportunities within the company. Remember, it never hurts to ask for advice!

If I could, I'd love to work with CyberCops (YC W22), but I'm nervous about their interview process. I'm used to informal conversations rather than technical assessments. Anyone have any recommendations on how to prepare?

@hackybrian Try practicing technical interviews and taking some online courses in cybersecurity. LeetCode and HackerRank have great practice problems, and platforms like Udemy and Coursera offer valuable cybersecurity courses. That'll help you familiarize yourself with the type of questions you may face during the assessment.
