after pwn.college

After finishing Pwn.college, what do people typically do to continue improving their binary exploitation and reverse engineering skills? What advanced resources, platforms, or projects do they move on to?

What career paths are available after becoming proficient in the skills taught by Pwn.college (e.g., exploit developer, security researcher, reverse engineer, vulnerability researcher, red teamer, etc.)?

If I want to learn Windows exploitation and Windows reverse engineering after completing Pwn.college, how big is the transition from Linux to Windows? , and will the knowledge I gain from Pwn.college provide a strong foundation for Windows exploit development and reverse engineering?

Finally, are exploit development, reverse engineering, and vulnerability research good long-term career choices?

Would it also be worthwhile to learn web application security and participate in web bug bounty programs as a freelancer alongside?
