I have 2 YOE in forensic accounting with a focus on litigation support. I’m currently thinking about wanting to transition to audit and get experience to hop into industry down the road. Its a struggle to fully know what to do as I do like forensics but I also want a more consistent schedule and know I won’t get that in forensics.

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 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.
