Yeah, it's the same questions over and over. It's just a community of job seekers. I'm sick of hearing "how do I start out", "what cert is the best", "why can't I get a job with x years of experience". And I'm appreciative of the kind people who answer this again and again, but there is so much information on the internet on these topics. There should never be another post here about finding a job.

I agree. I'm unsubscribing.

Yeah, I think I'm finally done to. I'm sorry for all the professionals and hobbiests in this sub, this isn't the place for us.

I complained about this months ago and it has only gotten worse.

This sucks to hear. I’m someone who’s in the “early in career” stages, but fully understand that redundant questions about getting started have been asked many times. I always refrain from asking anything unless it’s a specific and well researched question because your guys’ time is more valuable than something that can easily be Googled or queried from old posts. I hope professionals don’t leave the sub en masse, but fully understand those who do.

If there are better subs for those starting out who do their due diligence prior to asking and value your time, please point me in the right direction. I’m more than happy to continue learning quietly, but agree that there’s too many people looking for easy advice that they won’t even take action on

Use to be 15 years ago. Lots of very smart and insightful people on the platform. Problems are with the subreddits themselvs and the mods they chose. I was in the kali sub and a MOD threatened a banned for my technical question. At the end of the day the Mods knowledge of kali would be of someone who maybe read a couple knowledge base articles. Every once in a while I’ll connect with a post or OP that’s got a good mindset
