1) Stick With Basics

My first personal Experience is to stick with basics, I know many wanted to learn advanced bug bounty concepts, but Mastering basics such as OWASP top 10 will give you extreme confidence, and trust me I just applied for internships just by mastering my basics. and my personal experience I would say instead of practising in vulnerable applications, practise in Indian government sites and report it via NCIIPC because you would get a real-life hands-on practical and an appreciation mail too.

Stick With Basics! 😎
