This video was posted in 2015 so I think 10 years later more people are familiar and generally have some frame of reference for what that entails.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says he began working in Digital Forensics 17 years ago, which would be 1998. He says he was mostly self-taught which is common theme that persists today. He switched from Accounting to IT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His career path is interesting for a few reasons. I think it highlights important trends in this industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, he came from not having a background in Professional IT to finding an opportunity and learning through self-guided study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an incredibly important piece to succeeding in this field. Being curious and digging deeper to understand and grasp the tech you are working with. Acknowledging that continuous learning is a necessity and putting in the time to grow was an important factor in his success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, he was always gaining experience and then moving up. He was able to start as a forensic analyst and through OJT gained experience through his work roles. He then leveraged that to move up and he often changed location and company. That is the name of the game in this career. Constantly learning and positioning yourself to gain in demand skills, then leveraging those for raises or higher pay elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall I think he has a very interesting job and has afforded him the ability to live in different locations and possess a highly sought after skillset. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Watching, Digital Forensics | Davin Teo and reflecting on how the speaker entered into the field of Digital Forensics I will share my perspective.
