The bug bounty market continues to grow, with researchers using their experience to build and grow successful careers in penetration testing or bug hunting. Successful hunters have parlayed their skills into security jobs at major companies by conducting themselves professionally, sharing their techniques publicly, building relationships with program owners, citing their experience on resumes, and networking with fellow researchers. The security community is global and interconnected, making it easy to meet fellow researchers through Twitter lists, IRC channels, Reddit forums, security conferences, and local meetups, which can lead to job opportunities and growth in the industry.
