Cons And Careers (Shorter)

Title: Cons & Careers (Shorter) Presenter: Steven Bernstein (@sciaticnerd) Track 1: In The Beginning Time: 0900 BSides San Antonio 2020 July 11th Abstract: “If you compete with others, you may not win. If you compete with yourself, you always win by becoming better.” ― Debasish Mridha How do you come across new ideas to keep things fresh? To borrow a saying, if you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room! Attending conferences is one way to learn about different viewpoints. Peeking into points along a career path will demonstrate an approach to keeping an eye on constant growth, while watching out for warning signs for burn out. Compete against yourself and no one else. The point is, the introduction of new ideas is essential to keep adding value to ourselves and the things we do. Speaker Bio: ​BSidesSATX coordinator; BSidesLV AV Staff. IAM.
