You can’t vouch for your own bug. You will always see it as the most beautiful bug that ever did bug. Doesn’t matter if you’re the one who does the thing, or even if you’re right. If it needs a vouch, recuse yourself. It’s ok. It’ll hold up on its own, or not. Learn either way.

Just add daily standup to the time set aside so that we know it's an agile team you want to have.
If I date you or plan to marry you, we're going to have books that we plan to read for a year. We're going to set aside time every week to discuss what we've learnt.
Because at the end of the day, I want to marry someone I would be happy is on same team with me.

If you’re starting out in tech, I wouldn’t advice you start out in Cybersecurity.
Start out in other roles, grow knowledge and experience for a couple of years and then switch to security. You’ll be well grounded that way and also be better rewarded.
If you're just coming into tech, I'll advise not to go for paths like frontend, backend, or design. The market for these roles is already saturated.
Consider data analytics, cyber security, cloud engineering, or even customer engineering, and then japa if you can.

Lol. This is very valid advice. DO NOT jump into a pentest without validating the authenticity of the parties you're gonna work with, and the assets they claim to own.
That's how I would have been doing jail time now if I wasn't careful with a particular deal.
A THREAD.
If are a freelancer(cybersecurity) , you need to be extra careful.
Ask questions, see documents and ensure you know what you are dealing with.
Don't allow yourself to be used to by criminals all in the name of security testing.
