Easy! Develop software. Don't limit yourself to scripts and small utilities. Work on something substantial, preferably low-level and closely related to the operating system or hardware. If you play CTF, show me the tooling you wrote to prepare, and the process you use to review your past performance and plan your next game. Our biggest ask during our hiring process is a code sample of some kind. If you're talking about finding bugs, show me that you didn't just get lucky, that you know how to make the process reliably produce a known outcome. Sidenote, I think the dev job for ~2 years out of college then moving to security is a smart move. You're 100x more effective as a security engineer if you have a strong background in development. I'll say that we definitely prefer to hire software developers and teach them security. |
