What applying for SOC L1 roles as a fresher actually looks like 🧑💻 I've been applying to entry-level SOC analyst jobs across India for the past few weeks. Here's what I've run into: • "Fresher" roles that still ask for 1–2 years of experience • Coming from a B.Sc. Bioinformatics background, I have to prove my security skills before anyone looks past my degree • Long application forms, then mostly auto-replies and silence • HR emails from job posts that bounce • Not knowing if my resume even gets past the ATS What I'm doing about it: • Hands-on practice in Splunk and LetsDefend • Building detections and writing up what I learn • Tailoring my resume to each SOC L1 description • Applying directly on company career sites, not just job boards Got your first SOC job?
