Hey Thomas, I'm looking to get into web app testing and I read this article earlier today: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/06/how-to-break-into-security-ptacek-edition/ http://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/06/how-to-break-into-securit... Say I did what you said and got some experience. How do you know when you're ready to strike out on your own and do what the OP is doing? Or should I join an existing firm to get more experience?

If you've never worked for an appsec consulting firm, I would highly recommend doing that for a year before starting your own firm.

Join an existing firm before striking out on your own. It will be extremely difficult to network or understand the industry before you do this.
