How can i get my first penetration testing role
Hi , i am currently studying for the cpts and i am wondering if i could get a job after i pass the cpts exam, so could you tell how did you get your first pentesting role and if you actually had a prior job experience in any it role .and i heard from people that it is “impossible “ to get a job as a junior pentester so you need to get an it job first like IT help desk and then climb your way to a penetration testing role , is this right?
Note: i am 17 years old and i live out of the us and i have some experience in bug bounty.
