Wondering how I can best spend my time in a vast universe of infosec knowledge.
I feel like a lot of learning websites are geared towards pentesting, because it is a very active / immediate skillset - if you do things right, you’ll get a flag.txt or something. I guess I’m just looking for something that isn’t just watching videos or plugging away at Jeopardy style learning (HtB, Try Hack Me). But I’m also a bit directionless at the moment - there’s so much to learn and I don’t know which way to go.

Yeah infosec is pretty huge. Do you have an idea more specifically of what you want to do? Like what type of role are you looking for or skills would you like to have?

I’m doing information assurance / GRC stuff at the moment. Not sure what the end goal is.
I think I might just need to soak it all in. I’m not particularly great at stuff like HackTheBox at the moment, but I’m sure that can be changed with more practice.

Fair enough. Just remember, there’s more (a lot more) to infosec than just Hack the Box stuff.
