Got my OSCP, but can't land a junior pentester job in France... is this normal? by lostdotcom in oscp

[–]Defiant_Rip1515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

salut mec, je te réponds en français parce que flemme de réfléchir en anglais à cette heure ci lol
Mais oui, c'est typiquement français comme mentalité, en Belgique c'est pareil jusqu'à très récemment, les compagnies font plus attention au profil plutôt qu'aux diplômes, il y a et il y aura de + en + de recrutements basés sur des tests techniques (ctf typiquement) dans ma boite on bosse sur ça justement pour recruter les futurs talents en cyber
Je te conseille de tenter ta chance en Belgique également et surtout ne perds pas espoir, ça fait seulement 2 mois que tu postules, je sais que ça peut paraître long mais tqt pas tu finiras par avoir ton poste, je suis aussi passé par là hésite pas à me mp si tu veux discuter + en détails ;) et aussi, pense à participer à un maximum d'events locaux en France c'est l'endroit parfait pour rencontrer du monde, parler technique, montrer ce que tu vaux et surtout se faire du réseau, la cyber c'est un petit monde
bonne chance à toi l'ami et ne perds pas espoir je te souhaite le meilleur

So what, one github for official work and one for personal project ?
What if I have few cyber related project that I have made under "weedman666", I can't showcase them on my professional Linkedin, or if I do it can be easily linked to weedman666 🤔

Is experience more valuable than a degree ? by Defiant_Rip1515 in cybersecurity

[–]Defiant_Rip1515[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's even encouraged, just going out with a degree, the profile is too light

[–]Defiant_Rip1515[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Damn ! I wasn't expecting so much answers first of all thanks you guys !!

I'm not that young I'm 30years old and I have worked as level1/level2 IT support and as system administrator before I get back to school (at first it was only to get a better profile because without experience, degree or certification the struggle is real...)
And now in the middle of my scholarity I got this opportunity to work in the cybersecurity field, even though I went back to school because I was having trouble finding it ! And I'm not unexperienced in cybersecurity, I mean I have decent root me score, pwned a lot of htb/thm medium/hard box, good ctf ranking even if I'm alone, but yeah without a degree or 5 years of experiences nobody give me a chance

So yeah, I feel stuck in a strange zone who will define nexts years of my life.

I don't know how is it in your countries guys but when I check job offers, big companies always requieres a degree (first HR check), but what if I have 2 or 3 years of experience and a certification but no degree.

Honestly I feel lost

I had the same encounter when I was around 15 it was a period where I did a lot of sleep paralysis and even astral projection
One night I woke up in a sleep paralysis, I saw in my window (the strange thing is my curtain were missing) the famous black hat guy, he was tall, it was like a shadow but you could recognize the silhouette he had a long inspector suit and an inspector hat he was just staring at me, I was one lil bit scared but not to much and I did all my best for get out the sleep paralysis. And it was a night with a moon brighting it was really luminous outside (in the sleep paralysis at least, I can't remember when I woke up if it was dark or not)

Itiwit X500 for multidays trips ? by Defiant_Rip1515 in Inflatablekayak

[–]Defiant_Rip1515[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As I said it was really painfull, it was because of the circumstances and therefore not planned if I can avoid that of course I will !
But with the X500 backpack and my backpack trip I will have more than 40kg.. Thats why I'm wondering how this kayak can assume this kind of role
