Hi everyone. I want to build a career in cybersecurity (offensive side of things). I’m currently in my 3rd year in Uni. So I’m thinking of prepping from now so that I can get job ready after graduation.

So I’m kinda in a dilemma. I’ve been following The Cyber Mentor for some time and honestly he was my biggest inspiration for getting interested in cyber. I’ve watched their free content and liked it. Currently they are running a sale.

On the other and, there’s TryHackMe which is a great platform and fun to learn from (I did their Advent of Cyber last year, liked it too).

I’m planning to get an annual subscription of either of these. Both are $100+ (THM is a bit cheaper I think). For a student in a 3rd world country, that’s a big investment.

So which do you think would be money’s worth? Or should I stick to free resources for now since there are tons out there (and good quality). What would be your suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
