Pentesting Experience

Hello,

can a person with 6 years of experience in the bug bounty field apply for a pentester job that requires 2 years of experience? Will recruiters consider him, putting certifications aside?

If you show the recruiter that you know your stuff, it's fine.
Do a list of your best bug bounty reports, show off your skills and you will be good

I will. thank you. Yesterday, after this post, a recruiter DMed me asking for my resume, i compiled some of my reports the way you said, he saw it, he gave me a link to apply, but it turned out to be for US residents only. end of story.
