It’s been almost two years since I started my journey in Bug Bounty Hunting at 22, while finishing my university degree.
After investing 1,730 hours in studying, researching, and hacking, I’m proud to share that I’ve earned over €150,000 in bug bounty rewards, with more than €10,000 still pending from recently submitted reports.
That’s an average of €93 / hour
Many people say bug bounty is a scam or just a matter of luck. Yes, luck plays a role. But it’s far from everything.
This is fully autonomous, self-driven work. No one gives you a roadmap. Most of the time, you face complex problems alone, without solutions on internet, and you’re the one who has to figure them out.
On top of that, the competition is global. You’re searching for vulnerabilities in systems where thousands of skilled researchers have already looked before you.
It hasn’t been an easy path.
I’ve had disagreements with programs and triagers. I’ve encountered programs that don’t pay fairly or take months to respond. I’ve dealt with reports that weren’t fully read or properly understood.
But I’ve also encountered the complete opposite: amazing programs, triagers, and staff with whom it’s been a real pleasure to collaborate, and with whom I continue to work to this day.
All of that shapes you. Not only technically, but professionally.
You learn negotiation. You learn how to communicate clearly with companies. You learn how to demonstrate real impact and deliver what organizations truly value.
And that growth is just as important as the rewards.
Finally, a huge thanks to the amazing platforms @Hacker0x01 @yeswehack @immunefi @cantinaxyz where I have been hunting throughout my journey
