One of the things that I really don't like about the #OSINT community is that it is fairly closed to people on the outside who want to get it.
For example, there are all of these great courses, conferences, etc. that tailor to people already in the industry. However, if you don't already have a company behind you paying for these things, they can really break the bank.
How do you break into the field from the outside? I think that's one of the hardest questions to answer.
@infopunk also unlike in cyber the osint work field is not yet focused on certifications to get that next job. Go to a jobs site and look for the certs that are required for jobs you might like.
I've taken some of the free courses I'm aware of a lot of the free resources. So far I've got a few hundred links, documents, etc. saved. But reading, doing online courses, and watching videos isn't isn't the same thing as being a part of a community of people who are already in the field. If I want to actually meet those people and also get my name out there, then there's that high barrier of entry.
