    I have to agree - nice idea but......................

    You could do the labs in less time, if you concentrated on sites like this and asked for advice on which machines would be best to learned from. Not that I would NEVER encourage this I did find the pdf of the course material once online although an old version. So it depends on how much you want the qualification.

    OSCP in not mandatory to work into infosec industry.
    You can start as a Security Admin and save money for certs, if your company doesn't want to buy it for you...

    Infosec industry isn't only related to Pentest, red team and offensive ... You have admins, integrators, pre-sales engineer, security solution dev, and so on...
    I wonder which recruiter ask for OSCP for an admin job. This is stupid.

    Heck, you can just do well in CTFs and apply to a junior position. That's what I did.

    Kind of presumptions to assume that everyone wanting to obtain certifications that would allow them to advance their career and earn more money can simply "save up" and pay out of pocket for an exam. Especially with the average income in Pakistan (admittedly, OP mentioned this after your reply) being significantly lower than that of the US.

    even If a person earning 50k its 322.76US dollar per month . Meaning for 1000 Dollar(Rs154914.20) , You have to save a complete salary for 4 months

    I gave up on OSCP for the same reason. It is about 2 - 3 times the minimum wage in here. I am not sure about about asking for money though. Maybe offer to do something for money even is it is just for show? Straight up asking for it doesn't sound too good.

    Starting with OSCP when you cannot afford it doesn't seem like a reasonable choice for me.

    Start with free certs, like can be found on cybrary.it.

    Then go for some cheaper stuff.

    Along the way, always apply for jobs. You may not get into PenTesting immediately, but e.g. working in support for cybersecurity companies gives you a fantastic foothold for later endeavours.

    You smell fishy to me, I am new to pen-testing and yet you were able to complete smasher2 a day from the last box and you were able to root it a second later... No dime from me!

    I feel for you, it's a very expensive cert for a student / the unemployed. I'm an undergrad student and saving up for OSCP to get it in 2020, it's a crap ton of money to pay out your own pocket but I see it as an investment. Plus, globally recognised cert and where I'm from it's a huge thing to have - as is all countries I'm sure.

    You could not do the OSCP, land a pentesting job and ask them to pay for you which a lot of guys do. However you decide to pay for the OSCP, good luck

    I know I am a c**t but you don't look like what means to be an hacker to me, more like a point whore (no offence given), you have to try harder before giving up to yourself!!! And it's not a certificate that will make you better, if you don't have the right mindset to be a hacker. Cos you know, there is a thing called the internet or as I used to call it arpanet/bbs. It's all out there now, before POCs were mangled so skiddies could not run them, "good old days" (C, perl and python only, and be faraway from skiddies)... So don't be a skiddie, be a hacker.
