MAECI Contacted Other Candidates After The Interview (but not me)

I just found out that MAECI contacted some candidates, who had an interview, to ask them more questions about their programs and universities. They didn't contact me. Does this mean that I am not a winner? Should I move on with other plans?

What are the actual chances of getting accepted after the MAECI interview?

Hi guys, I had my MAECI scholarship interview a few weeks ago and I’m honestly so stressed waiting for results.

For those who know how the system works or have won it before: once you get called for an interview, are the chances usually high, or is there still a massive round of rejections? I'm trying to figure out if I should keep my hopes up or consider other plans.

Any experiences or advice would be amazing. Thank you!

Are €700 studio listings in Rome scams?

Hi everyone, I’m moving to Rome and need to secure housing that allows me to register for legal residency.

I'm looking for a small studio. I’m seeing listings for around €700 on Idealista and Immobiliare.it, but I'm worried they are scams.

- Are these €700 listings usually fake? What is a realistic budget for a studio (or a single room with a private bathroom) that allows for official residency registration?

- Is "single room with private bathroom" a common rental type in Rome?

- How do I avoid scams? Which app is better? Where to look for a studio to rent?

- Which places in rome are both good and cheap?

Any advice would be a huge help!

Is there a free roadmap to get into security jobs (not just CTFs)?

Hi everyone! I’m a software engineer trying to move into security. I’ve done beginner ethical hacking courses and a lot of CTFs, but I feel like most roadmaps I find are very CTF/tutorial-heavy and don’t really show what day-to-day security jobs actually require.

I enjoy CTFs, but my goal is a real security role (not bug bounty or just hacking practice). Is there a free roadmap or guide that actually focuses on job-ready security skills?
