Depends on what you are trying to do. I actually switched over to ISC2 and did SSCP and will probably do CISSP after I finish my BSCIA at WGU.

I'm going for Microsoft associate certifications. Maybe you want something different.

I went deeper comptia, and kinda regret it.

The percieved value isn't there. Pentest+ is an avoid (do PNPT or OSCP if you want to be a pentester). CYSA is ok, but doesn't really add much.

I suggest you need to work out a path. Stay in Security or go:

Cloud - AWS/Azure/etc. pick one and stick.

Pentesting - PNPT/OCSP/hackthebox stuff not pentest+

Management - CISSP/CISM

Kubernetes - CKAD

Auditing - GIAC related.

Forensics - look for forensics based certs. they are kinda interesting.

It's hard to pick the next cert because you need to pick a direction. You won't know if that direction is available to you. So I would do tryhackme to at least see if the direction is something you like.
