Reply to comment by LusoInvictus in I am an ex-welder turned Offensive Security analyst (ethical hacker) AmA! by cyberjerry42

For you question about my work week:
My week will usually start with looking at all that wasn't resolved from the week before. I will then look at what pentests I have coming up (I usually have one per week lasting more or less 3 days). Pentests are always my weekly priority. Throughout the week I'll also follow up on bugs I've previously raised a flag on to make sure they get fix. If I still have time I'll typically plug the holes by working on one of our various projects which can range from a cloud infrastructure scanner to an API key sniffer (for example)

Ah man thank you for the AMA. I've been reading every answer. Besides TryHackMe what other websites/forums/media you keep tabs on to be up to date?

It's my absolute pleasure! Twitter is full of great security researchers like JohnHammond, TheXSSRat , TheMayor and many more (see who they retweet and follow them). There is also a lot of great content on youtube such as Liveoverflow and the cyber mentor. Finally, once you feel like you're ready for the real deal, head over to hackthebox. They have some great challenges. In terms of CTFs, I highly recommend going to picoCTF. You'll pickup great tricks there. BurpAcademy is also a great starting point for webapp related stuff!
