### Dev, Ops, and no background

Dev vs Ops background seems to be the great divider in offensive security. Many people start doing this job with a dev background and many also start with an operations or sys admin background. It is also entirely possible to start with neither although in my opinion makes it much harder. Starting with no background leaves you grasping for straws on some of the most basic concepts. I find a much higher success rate with individuals who have been successful for a number of years at either Development or Operations.

I find a much higher success rate with individuals who have been successful for a number of years at either Development or Operations. However I still think it's entirely possible to prepare yourself for a job in offensive security with no prior technical experience. You will just need to work a bit harder to both grasp basic technical concepts and apply them quickly to offensive security.
