Seeking pen testing career advice

Hey everyone,
I was hoping some of you in the security field could give me some advice. I'm trying to break into the InfoSec field specifically pen testing, but I lack the experience in the field. I knocked out the CompTia trio in 2016 to give me a basic foundation to build off of. I plan to spend the first half of 2017 gaining a deeper understanding of linux and the tcp/ip suite, but I'm not quite sure where to go after that. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Sign up for the eLearnSecurity webinar tomorrow (posted in another thread on this board) and get their free Barebones Penetration Testing Student course. If you like it, sign up for their paid training. It's pretty inexpensive for what you get. I'm taking it now and am learning a lot.
