I got a with psychology degree, but I passed the Security+ and started working as a network engineer, I want to ultimately work at X-Force Red Team in IBM, can anyone help with what I should do next? OSCP certification should be good enough to get into it right!??

The OSCP would be the best starting point toward your goal. You may want to gain experience as a pen tester within another firm before shooting straight to X-force in my opinion. I’m actually more curious on how you got a network engineering job with only a Sec+ and a psychology degree. Seems like not much relevancy and technical knowledge from the sec+ for the position.

Wonder if anyone can offer advice on which cert to pursue next? I obtained my CompTIA Security+ last year and wondering if I should go for the CySA+ or Pentest+ next. I also have my AWS CCP and will be sitting for the Solutions Architect soon as well. Currently not doing security stuff at work but would love to keep my skills going. I was hoping one of these next certs will help me finally break into a security role and love the idea of pentesting but not sure if the CySA+ is more beneficial.
