Hi Guys,
I had referred my friend in CTS, who joined in Feb 2022 & will complete 3 months (active payroll) on 15-May-2022. I received a mail confirming my referral acceptance.
Meanwhile, I have handed in my papers & am serving my notice period with my LWD being 23-May-2022. In this case, will I receive the referral bonus?

It depends. You are picking two certs on opposite sides of the fence.
CySA+ will land you in the Blue Team side of the house. PenTest+ will land you in the Red Team Side.
Assuming you have 0 technical experience and your main objective is to break into the industry, go with CySA+. Learning curve for blue team is not as steep as red teaming, allowing for an easier entry.
If it helps, my degree is in cyber security and I'm working as a sysadmin right now. The plan would be to pursue both certs in the end. However, if I can pursue the second one while actually working in security that would be great.
Do you have any CTF experience?
Generally, getting a PenTest role requires your ability to demonstrate your ability to actually PenTest. Its not often that an org will train you from 0 to PenTest. If you have any CTF experience, you could land a role and study for PenTest+ while working.
HTB and TryHackMe are the best ones. TryHackMe is really beginner friendly, so definitely recommend starting with that.
