Just wanted to vent over here. I have 7 years of experience in VAPT. I don't have much exposure in SAST, Threat modelling, SCA, API etc., When i try to attend interviews, i could not crack any of them. All are asking exp VAPT along with other. I tried attending atleast 10 interviews, could not crack any. When i look at few freshers profile they have mentioned having exp in API, mobile, SAST, DAST. Really don't know how they got these much of exp.
Please suggest some ideas for me to learn these.

Thanks a lot. Will ping you.

Iam trying to get entry level job in vapt but ii could not find one job

Will connect with you for VAPT guidance.

SCA means secure code analysis.?

Oh okay.

Nowadays only VAPT experience is not sufficient to get a job in good product based companies. You have to know API, Cloud security, Threat Modelling, etc.

Even there are some industrial and automotive companies that require specific security knowledge in automotive security, HW security, IoT, OT security.

So we must always learn and enhance our skillset.

True. But whenever i ask for these specific roles, they are not giving me telling that they are looking for exp candidate for that specific domain though i have 8 yoe in VAPT. Sometimes I feel very bored on doing the same task. How can I learn threat model using STRIDE without any exp?

I’m a UX designer with 2 YOE in a design agency currently at 12.5LPA. I’ve recently landed an offer at a startup for 16.5 LPA + 2L esops with 2yr cliff period for a senior UX design role. I want to know if it’s worth to make the switch or wait some more?

PS: This was my first interview in the switching process so I’m not sure if I could have landed better offers or if this is the best I could get.
