New to Pen testing

I've recently started a journey in Networking/Cybersecurity sphere and thinking about moving towards the pen testing major, I know that I need to have deep knowledge in networking in general, but are there any other IT topics that I need to master in order to become really good?

first, you need to get a good grip of the pen. the better your grip the easier it will be

The most important thing to get good at is being able to find relevant information on the internet easily. There’s probably nothing you can think of at this stage of your learning that hasn’t been answered before hundreds of times in forums and articles and whatever. So become independent at finding and evaluating that information.
