| lots of discussion about this https://hn.algolia.com/?q=certifications If I can make a suggestion, find the topics you like and get stuck in on your own. set your own labs up (if possible) play and get hands on with the stuff you have a deep interest in. Certs are a good way to get an interview, but they are not really a true signal of knowledge. CISSP (not cheap / some would say not easy), used to be highly valued, however, that's not really the case anymore. (picking just one example) Some would say, that these certs are a bit of a scam these days, as you have to renew them every year (additional cost) earn credits (additional work), have someone vouch for you (basically have a colleague who has the cert and will sign for you). This is just an opinion and not as detailed as it could be. |
