Welcome to The Cyber Queens Podcast! Inspiring Gen-Z, women, LGBTQ+ and ethnic minorities to close the gender/representation gap in cyber.
**DISCLAIMER: All of our opinions are our own. They do not represent, nor are they affiliated with the interests and beliefs of the companies we work for. **
Summary:
In this episode, we start off strong by identifying where the need for the podcast came from and how we plan to address it head-on. Additionally, we break the misconceptions and stereotypes around working in the various niches of cyber and dive into the many, many, MANY benefits of working in this industry and why we think YOU, Gen-Z, are particularly equipped to address the skills and gender gap currently running rampant in cyber. Your queens will also talk about their personal journeys into cyber & how badass it has been from day one!
We're so thrilled to meet you and share our experiences with you and we CANNOT WAIT to see you in future episodes of The Cyber Queens Podcast!
Bullet Points of Key Topics:
- Intro - how the idea for the podcast first came about
- Why aren't there more women in this field? We’re not interested in it because it’s “nerdy”
- Many mid-career pivot into cyber now.
- What do Gen-Z want in a career?
- Hard facts:
- Everything is tech-based. Could you live a day without your phone?
- Currently we have 90k open cyber jobs and professionals
- The need for cyber pros is expected to grow from 700K to 3.5M by 2030
- Companies finally see they can’t underpay for crucial skills and you can make $90k/yr by the time you’re 25 and well over $150k by the time you’re 30 if you start right out of college.
