Story!! I can't tell you how many people I have talked to that want to get into Cyber Security in general to make money. I do my best to get them to understand that you have to have a passion for it. Like you said, money is a secondary goal. I also ask them if they are willing to spend 1 month focusing on one topic to understand it. I also lay out just how broad of a filed it is. People just see the dollar signs and want to chase them.

Exactly as you said Ben, We all deal with higher highs and lower lows, But if you're passionate about it when the downs come -and they will-. You will at least have a good aspect about it. And I never forget zwink words, when it comes to the dark side about Bug Hunting, And I quote from him "Bug bounties is like playing slot machines, One program will take 6 months to respond, down grade all your issues, mark them all N/A or weasel out of paying, While others will respond in 15 minutes, pay in 30 minutes, and fix the issue in 45, Pull the lever, see if you win." I wish you all a successful journey ❤✌

I believe the issue lies in the way all channels discuss Bug Bounty programs, portraying it as if a Senior Software Developer with 20 years of experience is telling a Junior how easy it is to find a job and earn a lot of money. However, the reality is quite different. Engaging in Bug Bounty programs could be likened to pursuing it as a hobby when you already have a steady income from your primary work. Otherwise, there's a 98% chance of being left with no money.

all you said is true
i am making a little money from it.. But it is really difficult
consistency and patients is key

[cameronribeiro]

Where there is a will, there will ALWAYS be a way! The question is: how much time, effort, and devotion is it worth to you? You can sit all day thinking of reasons why you can’t do it, or you can redirect all that energy toward making it happen! What I have learned: people My reason for all the time and effort: when I am 90, all I will have to do in 2070 to make money is sit down to a laptop. All I will need is my laptops, WiFi, my fingers and my brain.

Your videos are consistently valuable @NahamSec. First, we must learn to identify and fix software issues. Secondly, wealth follows as you build your knowledge. It demands dedication and time, yet with passion and clear goals, attaining wealth becomes increasingly achievable. Thank you!

[cypherxsec]

Hii Ben i just enjoy bug hunting. That's why I don't give up it's like game for me with curiosity.

[CenterZero_DeadSecurity]

I love cyber security but not knowing how to program is now holding me back, you can only go so far before you need to catch up on that technical debt. Now I'm taking a step back and doing CS50.

[hermajaystey]

Yes! Please do your origin story and how you started and how you found your first bug 😊

[blablubb]

You’re only sharing the good parts of your experience and not the negative ones. That’s what people complain about

[newsexcerpts]

For me bug bounties are for gaining experience with live targets.

[AryanK]

So should i focus on bug Bounty now or getting an entry lvl position

[abdallahasan]

Thanks for the video! It's been informative! what are the books behind you?

[ЕгорБрод]

Hi, @NahamSec! Please, tell us how do you orgonise your notes? Which tools do you use?

[hugovalters]

Life stories are always interesting and in some way inspirational that lead to endorsement. Thanks

[cipher]

I am wanting to do them for learning and experience. I never expected it to be a get rich quick plan. Money would be a bonus but with job hunting taking longer than wanted at least my reward will be things I can put on a resume
