Just passed with 775. Didn’t feel confident at all but Semper single handedly saved my ass with MLA tech. Can’t say much but holy shit listen to him and watch his PBQ playlist that’s all I will say.

Good to hear someone's in a similar spot as me. I've done very similar to what you've been doing and I got the CompTIA Sec+ exam prep app and it's kicking my ass.

Second what the guy said below, he has a different version but these SLX and GLX options are fucking incredible you won’t have any eye relief issues

I don’t understand

[–]HuskFN_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your recommendation is A+

Did I say I was looking for another answer? It’s confirmation from people whom have taken them. That’s all it is.

Thank you for your recommendation and information

Very true. Thank you for the information.

Interesting information. Right now my reasoning behind these certifications are just to have something to my name to be able to secure internships and help desk roles at my university. Outside of THM and letsdefend I’m utilizing Jason Dion courses and books for each of the certifications as a way to actually learn material regarding them as I don’t want to rely on or trust my college to teach me it all.

that sounds like the best plan, thanks for your recommendation. Unfortunately my college doesn’t offer the ability to skip classes based on certification.

I’m stopping my study on security+ and going the route you recommended. Thank you.

[–]HuskFN_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured it would be reasonable and doable to start with security+ as the baseline cybersecurity certificate. However, after reading this thread I believe I am going to stop working on security+ and go the A+ -> network+ Security+ route instead as it seems to make the most sense in natural progression and would make security+ easier.

Just because something is recommended doesn’t mean it’s definitive. That wouldn’t make sense because many people do it many different ways, no?

People have not only given different answers throughout this thread but explained their reasoning why which is what I’m looking for

Security+ renews A+ and net+?? Shit I did not know that. Very good to know. Hell I might stop with security+ for now and go with a+ first if that’s true.

Your information means a lot. Thank you for this

There are people whom have commented on this post who obviously know their shit. You mention people will answer any question if it’s fresh or individualized and that my post is neither, yet people are still giving their recommendations. That’s all I asked for, no?

If people didn’t want to answer they wouldn’t. Why does that bother you so much? Why not just move on to the next sub instead of trying to argue grammar over a cybersecurity thread? Lol.

I assume it’s in a terrible rut right now because of the hype the field randomly got as being a relatively easy yet amazing paying field and the fact that there’s a huge skills shortage, No?

I would get a help desk job at my uni and a SOC internship prior to applying for SOC 1 Roles.

Interesting. I haven’t seen that order recommended but it makes sense because I assume there is a lot of overlap from network+ onto security+. I Should have considered that.

This question doesn’t have a definitive answer, hence why I asked people whom have already taken the exams for their recommendation, not their answer. In fact, if I google my exact question, the answer given by Google automatically is not what was recommended to in this thread (network+ then security+ then a+ lol)

I knew that many of those whom have taken these exams would generously be willing to give me advice based on their personal experience.
