I would get past any notion that something is going to “taint” this achievement.
In your own words - what do you believe a job in cybersecurity entails?
In your current role - in what ways have you interacted with software, cloud or a server’s security?
Ik CS is more programming oriented and I already have regrets in life and wouldn’t want to feel like I’m making the wrong choices and feel I wasted my time on this degree.
I believe cybersecurity entails testing vulnerabilities and applying fixes and helping to make systems much more secure
I have 6 years IT experience (nothing network related) more just fixing hardware and removing viruses.
But my current role is just deploying software to agencies
