Hey everyone! I’m incredibly excited (and grateful!) to have landed a Cyber Engineer Intern position with Goldman Sachs for next summer. I'm currently a college junior and have a few cybersecurity internships under my belt, both on the technical and consulting sides. This internship is such a huge step for me, especially with the pay (over $40/hr!) and the potential to turn it into a full-time offer.
I want to make the absolute most out of the next seven months so I can show up as my best self and crush it. Here’s my plan so far, but I’d love to hear any additional advice from those who’ve been in the industry or had similar experiences!
Python: Planning to dive deeper into Python since I know it’s so versatile and widely used in cybersecurity.
Sec+ Certification: I’m aiming to get my Security+ certification before summer, as I feel it’ll round out my foundational knowledge.
What else would you recommend? Are there other languages, tools, or specific skills I should focus on? I want to go in fully prepared and show my commitment to learning and growing. Any advice for leaving a strong impression to increase my chances of a full-time return offer would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
