Weekly thread for any and all career, learning and general guidance questions. Thinking of taking a training or going for a cert? Wondering how to level up your career? Wondering what NOT to do? Got other questions? This is the time and place to ask!
I‘m kind of tipping over into cybersec through my job as an admin for hire and it system engineer. I‘m self taught in app development, systems administration and currently working on bringing new linux OSs to former proprietary devices. I did a couple of tiers on hackthebox and will be attending 38c3 as my first congress.
I wonder how to proceed as a self employed „mercenary“ who wants to work for small businesses. I do think doing security stuff like pen tests would be good. Any ideas? :)

Any interesting US-based conferences in 2025 outside of RSA/Defcon/Blackhat? I already have local conferences in my city lined up (BSides, OWASP, etc.) and want to get first dibs on travel budget.
