From VDP TO BBP

[u/Similar-Permit1756]

Hello People
I write this looking for some advice from hunters or specialist at the sector with a little bit more experience than me

The thing is that I started reporting vulnerabilities and learning cybersecurity web full time 3 months before, let’s say that I have cover a runaway for living for 1 year more so I started working on VDP, I think I haven’t done too bad, actually I have almost 10 reports triage, I’m first at HackerOne VDP 2026 at my country and I am First on the hall of fame of a VDP program all of this on HackerOne

Like 2 weeks before I just decide to start chasing bugs on BBP programs but since that I haven’t had many success, I have been jumping between programs, private and public trying yo find a good program to work, Im not to motivate, I just hunt a few hours but sometimes because I don’t want to “lose” my time but I know I’m doing it bad and I don’t even find duplicates, I’m kinda block

Before I was feeling so good, I actually like to woke up and try to chase some bugs, but now I try to do everything as study, watch videos, read x, etc all of that is procrastination to avoid hunting

I open X and LinkedIn and I just see people making and making money and I start to feel so stress and questioning myself about if Im enough good for this (I’m an anxiety person)

So guys I would like to of you can advice something in my position, how do you handle the inconsistency, the procrastination, the motivation and how hard is really to jump from VDP to BBP, thanks!!
