If you've done so well with bug bounties do you really need a job, can't you make a living doing that ? I'm personally very interested in the answer to that question because that's a route I'm considering pursuing myself, being for a variety of reasons, outside the window of traditional employability. But if with your skills you can't make a living at it then I certainly don't have a shot.

Maybe in the span of 4 months you make $100k off various bounties, but then in the next 4 months you only make $10k. Then there's also the extra taxed you have to pay when you're self-employed, and the cost of health insurance (assuming US here, OP didn't say where they're from). Some people just like the security of full-time, salaried employment, with benefits.
