Bug bounties. Andddd that's it, you're done. Find a few in recognizable companies, and jobs will simply come to you. I'm not going to engage in the debate about what certifications should be in the industry, but I'm happy to show which option is most advantageous for your particular needs right now: * Certifications mostly do not teach you anything that you, as a competent web developer, cannot learn from the same five textbooks tptacek, others and myself recommend in these threads. * Certifications cost money. * Certifications optimize for companies and roles that disproportionately do not pay highly. * Many certifications require upkeep. Let's contrast with bug bounties: * Bug bounties grow your real-world, hands on experience. * Bug bounties do not cost you anything (in fact, you can get paid!). * Bug bounties cover a much more diverse and up to date set of security flaws than certifications. * Bug bounties optimize for companies and roles that will respect you more highly, pay you far better and aggressively try to hire you after you find more than, let's say, two serious vulnerabilities in recognizable companies. * Bug bounty recognitions do not expire.
