Most folks dgaf about certs, and I agree with them. Certs are BS. I only have certs because employers paid for them and in tech (especially security) there’s a LOT of free time if you know what you’re doing. Certs only prove you can pass a test.
Bold of you to assume most companies have intrusion detection systems and that their monitoring isn’t muted half the time.
Findings come from an automated report generated by a scanner that does literally all the work.
OP post is really not that far off. It’s an easy gig.

You hope it’ll set off alarms. Sometimes it doesn’t, mostly because they don’t have monitoring setup.

Or because you hacked into the wrong company. This has happened multiple times.
That’s what happens when you do off the book stuff on company time. Got to organize yourself better.
I’ve even heard stories of physical pen testers entering the wrong company. Oops.
You’re implying that people who post on 4-chan have no clue how the real world works and no idea what business is like and how people make money!

Uh, certs are a huge deal in cyber security. Absolutely useless in most fields, but cybersecurity is not one of them.
So pen testing is a scam? I knew it! Opening all my ports right now.
oh yeah I probably should close those unused ports I’ve had open since 2020…
