Progress in bug bounty does not come in linear line, but wave.
Progress in bug bounty is not an upward line but a wave. In my 2 years of full-time hunting. I always try to increase my monthly income. I did increase it a few times. What funny is that, I wouldn't see any sign of my income will increase, even 1 week before the increment. It was always a sudden spike. Getting my first bug was the same experience. I didn't see any sign of it coming, until I got an email say "ProgramX rewarded you $xxx". I believe that is a big reason why many people give up bug bounty. They put a lot of effort in and still see no result. It is too uncertain. Working 9/5 job is more comfortable mentally, we know we will get some fixed amount of money weekly or monthly, the result is guaranteed. Putting effort into bug bounty still builds up the result though. We just don't see it until it is fully formed. For some people, it's in 1 month, some others get it in 6 months or longer. That's why many people like playing video games. Progress is
