This is what made me quit consulting Senior partners making over $4m per year, but missing the birth of their own child
A wise mentor once told me: “Before you play the game, study the winners. If you don’t want their life, don’t play their game.”

People at DevConnect had been asking me how I was able to secure 103% of the H/M pot (65,000 USDC) in the USDaf Contest on Cantina which was a Liquity v2 Fork and how did I spot a vulnerability that every single person missed. There are a multitude of reasons for this. I can

Read a lot. Increase your learning diet. Watch documentaries on business, marketing psychology, startups, finance, investing, private equity, mergers and acquisitions etc. I’ve been consuming content like this before it became popular to do so. Spend enough time and your brain

REMEMBER! Hard parts of a codebase filter out 90 percent of auditors. If something feels heavy, math-dense, or tricky to simulate, most people avoid it and chase easy bugs. That’s your opportunity. The highest-value issues hide exactly where your brain wants to look last.

The fastest way to get from junior to senior web3 security researcher is to build out your portfolio however, there's a huge difference between 100 audits of no-name AI agents, NFT marketplaces, uniV2 forks, etc. and, stacking team audits for tier-1 projects and scoring well

@0xMackenzieM @hrkrshnn @0xFlint_ Hi thank you @0xMackenzieM I honestly feel it’s an honor for my opinion to be wanted here. I know one thing and that the timeline can be different for different people and also different people have different priorities in life that can either hinder or accelerate their SR

The days of easy money in web3 security are over. You’ll have to “settle” for $150k base salary after “one year of experience.” With the potential to go a lot higher. Milady

We stick to a new protocol until we burn out; this can take anywhere from a few months to a few weeks, it always depends on many factors like the size of the codebase, documentation, previous audits, etc. When we burn out, we go back to auditing a protocol we're familiar with
@infosec_us_team @immunefi Hey @infosec_us_team , when finding critical in a protocol how much time do you spend like 3 months , 6 months etc like you have any deadline that you will only spend this many months, before moving to the next target ?

To rise to the level of mastery requires many hours of dedicated focus and practice. You cannot get there if your work brings you no joy and you are constantly struggling to overcome your own weaknesses. You must look deep within and come to an understanding of these particular

This is the mindset, show up everyday work hard. Doesn’t matter which pain you got, coz results don’t care about it! Grind hard, homies 🤝
50% of people I know don’t do any sports. 30% buy a gym membership but train only a couple of times a year. 19% train regularly, but if it’s a birthday, a headache, or something came up, they skip. 1% train no matter what, no days off, no excuses, no parties, no wasted minutes.

the more you increase your emotional intelligence, the less you'll take things personally because you'll realize that most people aren't reacting to you, they're reacting to their own past, their own fears, their own struggles, their own bad days
