I left PA for a fp&a role and didn't like the company. But to your point, you'll usually not have the "skills" when leaving PA because you aren't doing the same things day in and day out. But you'll learn as you go.

Let’s say I want to get into pentesting and CEH - where would you advise starting if my experience is minimal? I know my way around things but not much scripting or too heavy network experience. Downloaded Kali on a VM to get some tools, but let’s say you could advise me of a training course/package to start with - what would it be, and from where?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam.

But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
