Read MoreBecause I’m a little burned out from spending so much time on Leetcode of late, I recently reached out to a subreddit which focuses on infosec career advice (r/SecurityCareerAdvice) to ask more knowledgeable folks how I could demonstrate continued interest in cyber security without spending money I don’t have on a series of certifications. Both responses included suggestions that I write blog posts, with one going a step further and recommending that I write up walkthroughs for whatever I was working on (a huge thank you is in order for that person, who’s given me permission to post a link to their company’s website, https://securityps.com/).
The thing I’ve been working on most recently, which I’ve been picking at slowly but surely for the last few months, is OWASP’s Juice Shop (https://github.com/bkimminich/juice-shop).

With software job postings frequently attracting over a thousand applications, this is the admittedly imperfect method by which companies separate the skilled wheat from the underperforming chaff.
Put simply: to get a good job you need to dedicate hundreds of hours to practicing a skill with very little direct translation to the position to which you’ve applied.
“But how can I practice such a niche skill” you ask? Leetcode.com. Where computer science students’ fanciful dreams of $300k per year unicorn jobs go to die.
It is also where I’ve spent the last five weeks.
