Hello everyone,

I am a cybersecurity fresher seeking guidance from experienced professionals.

I am confused about the best way to start my career whether I should move to Pune for better opportunities and attend walk-in interviews or stay in my hometown and apply online

I have hands-on experience with Linux, HTB labs, basic network security, OWASP Top 10, Nmap, Gobuster, Nikto, Burp Suite, Nessus, and Wireshark.

Your advice would be great

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job.

Do I just make something else up entirely?
