IT CERTIFICATION TIER LIST :)

[@genghisdingus]

The best certification is when a news article comes up when your name is googled.

That would defiantly validate my skills. Granted the headline is not making me look notorious lol

[@nightwing09x]

100% agree with this ranking. As someone who has A+, Net+, Sec+, CCNA, CySA+, PenTest+, and am working on eJPT, eCPPT, CISSP.

[@intothecodewithdanny5389]

Nice you’re definitely on the right track. I just finished 90% of the Pen200 course for the OSCP. I kinda wish I had completed the eCPPT. I would have become more comfortable with exploiting larger networks.

As an HR recruiter, here’s my tier list: S: CISSP A: CEH (Only if you have a CISSP) B: C: D: Master’s Degree F: OSCP, OSCE (isn’t that the OSCP?), CCNA, CASP, eCPPTv2, A+, Net+, Sec+, Bachelors degree, CEH (If no CISSP) Skill shortage btw

[@wretchedsoullikemine]

I got a few opportunities open up thanks to Network+ and had years of IT experience in a repair shop, was surprised tho how many jobs still wanted the A+ as well, which I felt was kind of moot at that point in my career. I still got my foot into a decent respectable job thanks to Net+ and working on advancing my career by studying CCNA next. Sec+ sounds like a nice next step after (or maybe a Juniper cert first not sure)

[@intothecodewithdanny5389]

That sounds like a good move and thanks for sharing. I recommend Boson's CCNA Netsim for its amazing lab.

should i focus on the CASP aka securityX after my CySA+ or just go with the CISSP later down my career.... honestly the name securityX sound ridiculous

[@intothecodewithdanny5389]

I got both, but it depends on your budget. The CASP is less in demand outside the DOD/ military. However, it is cheaper and a little more technical. The CISSP is the gold standard and requires 4 year experience with a qualifying cert of 4 year degree in IT/cyber or 5 years of solid experience in IT/cyber. If you have the experience go for CISSP or do both.
