This may or may not be completely irrelevant to the thread but here it goes anyway.

I'm a financefag but found a job in QA/business test/business analysis at a bank. Anyone have any experience with the role? How did you like it? What should I look out/prepare for, how are the exit opportunities?

The only thing I'm familiar with is QA in call center environments. The exit opportunities are non-existent

I have an interview soon for a job as a security engineer via google hangout. I'm guessing webcams will be involved and I am not sure what I should do about my beard? Is it not a big deal for IT jobs?

Requirements

An understanding of the challenges and advantages unique to security and privacy in the public cloud and in agile/DevOps environments
Scripting experience (esp. with Python)
Familiarity with the security issues associated with distributed systems
An understanding of modern deployment tools like Jenkins, Git, Docker, etc.

Any tips on what I should study before the interview? I'm not very familiar with these modern deployment tools

Computer science degree, I have done a variety of computer based areas and hate none but don't love them either.
What area should I go into?

Thankfully I think that's very different from business-finance-IT settings (I think) where you are actually expected to know VBA and SQL at least.

since you are stuck

agile - read wikipedia and fake it
devops - it is a meme, just remember small mistakes/large problems. Know some fucking human controls so people don't fuck over everyone entirely. Drop the "separation of duties" bullshit. Look up actual articles and don't just wander in thinking you can fake cause they might ask retard shit about partial private keys and shit.
git - uhhhh. Yes. Don't even know why people list this
Docker - Study this. It is basically fancy copy and pasting vm files, but they use jargon that interviewers will pick up on if you use it.
Lookup either salt/chef/ansible (recommend salt/ansible due to its low requirements for a minimum setup) and do a deploy.
Beard - who gives a fuck. Just like the rest of your appearance keep it neat/cared for.
