I am currently employed as a Test Analyst and its a career path I am keen on pursuing but I am struggling to work out what cert to go for next. I am finding myself increasingly being involved in technical testing and in particular Security stuff also a bit of networks and system monitoring. I have done the following: ISTQB Advanced Technical Test Analyst ISTQB foundation ITIL Security+ Linux+ 101 (Did not do the 102 in time so this is now invalid after only 18months!) Agile foundation This is about learning and also being marketable as I will need to look for a new job in about 6 months. I am thinking of either: CEH (Tempted by this as it gives me a potential advantage over other testers) Complete the Linux+ (not too keen on this as it will just be grabbing the cert rather than learning something new) CCNA (I feel as though I need something like this for knowledge of lower down the OSI stack) What do you guys think, any others?
