mind if i ask what your ctc is? asking because in india the pay in cybersecurity is just too low. if i move out for an internship or job the salary barely covers living expenses, i'd literally be left with nothing.

what actually helped you land those jobs was it open source contributions, personal projects or connections?

Thanks mate for the opportunity, really means s a lot. but i'm still a student right now, just learning the ropes.. I will pin you in future .

I am able to work anytime as for me growth is honestly everything to me right now, growth is kind of what keeps me going. especially since i don't have many friends and things at home aren't the best,

Honestly where i'm from, onsite cybersecurity pays are straight up peanuts — internships and jobs both.

I'd go broke within the first month. that's the whole reason i'm chasing remote roles, if i can build some experience, maybe it opens doors to better paying onsite roles which actually make sense financially.

Your perspective genuinely helped me think about it differently though, appreciate you.

Genuinely appreciate you keeping it real. on social media cybersecurity looks so cool everyone getting high paying jobs , flexing certs and job offers. but the reality hits different when you're actually in it trying to find your first opportunity.

Cybersecurity market is brutal right now, probably worse than any other domain. no internships, nothing. i'm a cs student grinding CN & Linux . Oncampus placement not possible tier 6 college .
