#58 Why Attention Is the Real Currency in Cybersecurity ft. Tadi

The Hacker's Cache

In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, I sit down with penetration tester Tadi Kandango to unpack why attention is the real currency in cybersecurity. We talk about how he broke into pentesting without a degree, the role certifications actually play, and why sharing your work publicly can open more doors than quietly grinding in the background. Whether you’re trying to land your first role or level up your career, this conversation will challenge how you think about breaking into the field.
