The author is preparing for their first cybersecurity conference after transitioning from system administration and recently starting in security. They notice others on LinkedIn sharing basic achievements, such as completing a TryHackMe easy room or explaining the gobuster tool—concepts they mastered on their first day of Penetration Testing.
