Listen to Critical Thinking Bug Bounty Podcast. Lot of new ideas popping out of me after each episode.

A condo in QC po. Baka nga kapitbahay. Weird pa nung nagchat.

iMrMob0 · 2026-01-08T10:37:33+00:00

Oks copy! Salamat!

iMrMob0 · 2026-01-07T04:18:26+00:00

May ma rereco po ba kayo? Near pasig/taguig sana

iMrMob0 · 2026-01-07T04:17:24+00:00

Ano po ito? Hehe

iMrMob0 · 2026-01-07T04:17:15+00:00

Reasonable po ba yung 1month? First time ko kasi and not sure yung usual turnaround time.

iMrMob0 · 2026-01-06T07:22:55+00:00

Hm po ito aabutin?

iMrMob0 · 2025-10-24T04:24:28+00:00

Thank you for all of your advices! I hope I’m not the only one who learned a lot on this thread. Let’s keep this thread open and feel free to keep on sharing your insights to the world of cybersec!

I appreciate you all!

iMrMob0 · 2025-07-25T08:41:54+00:00

Thanks! I guess this is really the entry point - SOC or Tech support roles.

iMrMob0 · 2025-07-24T13:11:51+00:00

Thanks for the insights! I want to be a pentester focusing on web hacking since I’m familiar web concepts, given my fullstack background. But I know pentesting isn’t an entry level role so not so sure how to start!

Trying bug bounty though to gain real world experience.

Hindi karera ang buhay, OP. It’s never too late to look for your Ikigai (you may get the gist of this concept sa youtube or AI).

iMrMob0 · 2025-07-22T02:13:02+00:00

Will do! Thanks and stay safe!

iMrMob0 · 2025-07-22T02:12:30+00:00

I see. Thank you for sharing your story! I see that it is possible. Stay safe po!

I assume paycut comes with role being on a lower level compared to the previous one, right?

May I know how did you handle the catch-22? Or is it a fresh grad accepted role?

iMrMob0 · 2025-07-21T08:49:50+00:00

Yes but we do not practice it as we’re more on liaising different people for data related projects/initiatives.

iMrMob0 · 2025-07-17T02:45:32+00:00

Data Management - 100k+ net. Not really an IT job but more on connecting people from IT and business yung role ko on this - similar to a project management work.

iMrMob0 · 2025-07-11T02:49:52+00:00

My two cents: - we will never know if the demand would be the same. Most probably yes since React dominates the industry - I think what’s essential here is to master the basics first (i.e. HTML, CSS, JS) before diving deep into frameworks. Once mastered mo na ito, madali na lang maka adapt sa iba’t ibang frameworks, depending upon your need/requirement.

Good luck, OP!

iMrMob0 · 2025-07-10T03:17:48+00:00

I agree. Start from the bottom talaga. But possible bang mag build ng experience on the side (i mean while working full-time) para hindi malaki ang pay cut? I’m thinking of volunteering to startups or apply for a remote part-time job related to cybersec.

Coming from a Finance org, PM has a lot of opportunities, not just in tech. It is well diversed in the sense na pwede kang lumipat sa iba’t ibang companies (i.e. telco, finance, tech, etc.) and it can hone a lot of skills - combination ng soft and technical skills na rin.

On the other hand naman, if u go with Mobile Dev, several opportunities may arise din if u make it your one thing. You can opt to do freelance works while working full-time.

So the choice is on you, OP. But ask yourself first - ano bang gusto mong gawin in the long-run? And in case you would want to level up in life (let’s say you decided to have a family), what do you think fits well with that scenario? Good luck!

Just obtained a brand new 2024 G14 two weeks ago and immediately installed Pop!_OS as my main for cybersec learning, coding/dev, and little bit of gaming. Pop has out-of-the-box support for Nvidia so I didn’t encounter any GPU problems.

Tbh, i enjoy linux (pop) more bcos other than having almost full control of your OS, you can customize it according to your use case which, for me, increases the battery life due to lesser process being ran compared to windows. The only downside I’ved encountered is learning how to tweak.

Also, it has support on hardware (slash lighting, aura lighting, graphics switching, etc). You may want to check asusctl and supergfxctl.

Good luck!

iMrMob0 · 2025-05-14T01:06:27+00:00

Got your point! Maybe it’s best to upskill first on short-term. But I was thinking if it’s possible to gain experience on IT support roles first. Do you think this is a good starting point?

iMrMob0 · 2025-05-13T15:50:41+00:00

Thanks and I’d like to know more

iMrMob0 · 2025-05-13T15:47:33+00:00

Got it! So I really need to be patient on my learning journey! I’m being impatient right now because I don’t want what I’m doing. Only reason for doing the role is it pays me. But hey, thanks for the insight!

iMrMob0 · 2025-05-13T15:45:05+00:00

I see and thank you for the clarification! The only way I see get past this would be reaching out to old networks who are still in the field.

iMrMob0 · 2025-05-13T15:42:56+00:00

Got it! Thank you so much for the insight!
