If you're a beginner or thinking about getting into pentesting, I have some tips for you
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/1fcyqzr/if_youre_a_beginner_or_thinking_about_getting/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I've recently started to write a few articles on my spare time, and was thinking it could help out some people here as well. Sorry for using a new account, I want to keep this persona separated from my real name and everyday consultant job. I know that for me it seemed close to impossible to break into this field when starting out. I have my own way that I recommend people to do this, where the goal is to quickly land an entry-level job by learning the "must haves", and then get paid while learning the "nice to haves". I think way too many guides and roadmaps tell you to learn coding, take certifications and so on. Focus on practical experience, and leverage your soft skills like communication and problem-solving, these are critical in interviews and actual real-world pentests. Here are the 8 steps from my article that I think will fast-track you to a job in the field: Dedicate Yourself to the Journey: Pentesting is hard to learn, but not really any harder than learning any other fields. Commit fully to learning and improving. Persistence is key, especially when learning a field as focused on problem-solving as pentesting is. Understand the Goal of Penetration Testing: A penetration tester is NOT a hacker. Learn the difference, and focus a good amount of your time to learn that difference. In my opinion these are the weakpoints of many pentesters. Choose a Specialization: Even as a beginner I think this is important. Picking a in-demand specialization will make it much easier to become valuable in a team. Web, Cloud, OT are examples of this. Look around for job postings and such in your area. Get Hands-On Experience Real-world experience is essential. I know bug bounty programs are scary, but just throw that fear away and get at it. If you have bug bounty experience, I would value this as much, or maybe even more, than work experience. Choose the Right Certifications (if any): Yes, OSCP is great, but it teaches you general pentest knowledge only. Yes, SANS 560 is great, but it is way too expensive. Start with affordable, respected certifications in your niche. I would recommend certs like Burp Practitioner and CARTP. The expensive ones are for your future employers to pay. Develop Crucial Soft Skills: Communication is key. Your ability to present findings and write clear reports can absolutely be more important than the technical skills. This is highly undervalued by pentesters, and a great way to stand out from your competition. Overprepare for Interviews: People show up underprepared for interviews. Study the common interview methods. Talking through a pentest, live demos, talking about specific tools and so on. Prepare for the actual interviews, not just your pentest skills. Start Applying (Broadly) You need experience from job interviews. If your dream job is the first interview you show up to, you will most likely fail. You will be much better equipped to do well on your 10th interview than your 1st. But focus on what went wrong and improving from interview to interview, or you will be one of the people demonstrating the definition of insanity by saying "I showed up to 5000 interviews and didn't get a single job" If this seems interesting to you, here is a Friend Link to the full Medium article, so no paywall:
