I have started my self study. Planning to take it in 3 months. Decided to first read Shon Harris cover to cover. Will take Boson practice tests and the practice tests from the official book later and also read 11th hour book a week before the exam. At least that’s the plan.

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.
