Certs are lame

Actually, I have to develop on this. I think you would actually be worse off trying to boost your application with certs.

Anyone know what kind of experience or certifications I should be aiming to get if I'm trying to break into a pentest role? I just graduated last year and have about a year of sysadmin experience and am trying to get into it asap. So, I'm already applying/job hunting and probably won't get much replies but.

You work on a pitch. Lots of your work goes into the deck. Agency wins business. Work for the brand you helped win is secretly given to other teams. Should I be angry? Or is this just how it goes?

Got a message from a Bain recruiter looking for experienced hires to start q1. I'm very interested but cautious because they're looking for a speedy process...feels a little rushed. Anything to be concerned about that I don't know? Like could this just be an attempt to get huge app volume or can I assume there's actually a chance if they reached out? I'm at a boutique in a niche industry, so just unsure of what would have drawn him to my profile.
