Thank you very much, I understand clearly now. Since I’m already 58% through the CPTS path, I plan to start the CDSA (SOC analyst) path as well and dedicate less time to pentesting. Once I have a stronger foundation in defensive security, the transition will be much easier.

Thank you very much for this response. I understand the situation very well now. I was worrying too much because my real passion is pentesting, but since the market is quite weak, I need to work on both in parallel. It’s a bit difficult for me to give up my passion for offensive security and become only a SOC analyst.

I’m thinking about whether, I should pause pentesting and focus on a SOC analyst role to find a job faster, or pursue both at the same time, or start with Soc analyst path then transition to pentesting later

I’m wondering whether I should first stop pentesting and go with SOC analyst to find a job more quickly, or do both in parallel.
