Hi experienced and junior pentesters

I would like to get a job as a pentester. Currently living in London, really interested in bug bounty and Pentesting I don't know what to do to get a job, I know about vulnerability types, recons burp suite, I reported some bugs but they were out of scope or N/A, no paid bugs yet. What exam do I need (except OSCP it is too expensive). Is there anything I can do daily? I am not coming from coding background,I have 3 years IT support experience, I know not enough but I have compTIA A+, MS900, SC900 certs. Any comments, any help much much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advanced.

For bug bounty and penetration testing which models give the quality output and is cheaper. Have been using Claude but it just keeps on flagging due to its cyber security guardrails. As an alternative to it, Which one is better GLM 5.3 or Deepseek?
