If there were a single thing I'd want to convey to potential future #cybersecurity professionals: Hacking is fun, but reporting is the most important part.
You can be the best hacker in the world, but all that is in vain if you can't convey what you did and how to prevent it.
You should spend time getting better at reporting, along with the technical skills.
