Highlights for the week
"A grateful mind is a great mind which eventually attracts to itself great things" - PLATO
BSides NYC All DAY Saturday ... sooo excited for this. Finally getting to volunteer, as per my new years resolution for 2025. For the most part, a lot of what I had laid out as far as goals has come to pass. Landed a Security job, read a couple of books, wrote more, and did as much as I could for mentoring. Certifications are just so expensive. In the meantime, I'm working on the weak areas like network pen testing, report writing, and getting better with Burp Suite (need that PRO version a.s.a.p).
What We’re Grateful For
- As always, I take comfort in having an awesome family.
- Grateful that I'm getting to meet people at the BSides Conference.
- Keeping hope alive that I will land a job soon. But I am glad I didn't get a bad job.
