Congratulations @hi3ronym0s. I'll spitball you some advice from the top of my head.

Having worked various areas of #cybersecurity for almost 20 years and recruited quite a few people, I'd say:

- Be humble. #infosec people have a tendency to think everybody else are idiots. They're mostly not. They just have a different perspective.

- Be kind. A lot of the time your job will be to explain to people why what they've done sucks. Don't be an asshole about it. You'll get further with kindness.

- Become really good at something. Don't just skim the surface. Dig deep in a few areas. You will float to the top soon enough, and having deep understanding of a few fields makes it easier to understand the others - and to appreciate that things are not always as easy as they seem.

- Understand that with security everything is about risk, risk and risk based decisions. So understand risk, and understand that not all risks are security risks. And that sometimes you take risk to have a chance at a reward. Our job is to make sure risk isn't ignored or poorly understood.

- Connect with the community. Hang out with #cybersecurity people online, go to conferences, contribute to open source projects. Building a network and learning from the people in it will boost your learning and hence career.

- Be patient. In #cybersecurity everyone wants experts, but becoming an expert takes time. Take that time. Don't chase advancements too quickly. You'll float to the top and become one of those people who can talk the language but cannot really do the job. You don't want that.

- Have fun and manage your frustration. Working with security can be really stressful and aggravating at times, and you can easily become frustrated and cynical about the world because "no one understand anything and security is always bolted on last minute and we are stuck with the fallout". Just expect it, and as @weopentech said, celebrate the small victories.
