Episode 40: Bug Bounty Mentoring

Episode 40: In this episode of Critical Thinking - Bug Bounty Podcast, it’s all about mentorships! Justin sits down with Kodai and So, two hackers he helped mentor, to discuss what worked and what didn’t. We talk about the importance of mentorship, what mentors might look for in a candidate, the challenges of transitioning from being mentored to self-education, and the necessity of continuous learning in this ever-evolving field that is bug bounty. This episode is a treasure trove of insights, and if you’re interested in either side of the mentorship coin, you won’t want to miss it.
