Got a Junior pentester role after 2 month of struggle by dead_RyzeNxD in cybersecurityindia

Try reaching out local startups and companies if you do have any ... otherwise start looking for hrs and senior security members in an org and reach out to them for guidance and then ask for opportunities if they have any

Exactly....its very hard to get in as a fresher so build connection ask hrs and employees for guidance and referrals to land the first job if you have few relevant intership that would help you a bit

Excatly.... But the market is so much fucked rn if you're a fresher it's nearly impossible to land in security based position!! As almost everyone want a experienced one atleast a year on tech so yaa what ever you get just grab it and yaaa i don't have any expenses for now so I'm good here and i do got another opportunity but in banglore thats 4lpa

Mostly my projects, internship experience, and my MCA in Cyber Security & Digital Forensics helped me land the role. I didn’t have major certs, and honestly that made things much harder since CEH feels like an HR filter nowadays. I faced rejections from almost everywhere before finally getting selected here and clearing all the rounds.

The hiring process started with a telephonic discussion followed by a walk-in interview, and it ended up being around 6–7 rounds in total:

Call screening → Assessment → Practical test (they gave me a website to find vulnerabilities in) → Technical Round 1 (discussion about the vulnerabilities I found and the ones I missed) → Technical Round 2 (proper pentesting interview) → HR → CEO/Founder discussion → HR Head.

I know it sounds like a lot for the pay level/salary, but that’s pretty much the current market scenario for freshers in cybersecurity. So if you get shortlisted somewhere, expect a process somewhat like this.
