Hi guys!
I am just about to finish my bachelor of science, cybersecurity and information assurance with WGU (only CCSP and Capstone left!
) and now I am looking for what to do next.
I would love to work as a penetration tester. I always had a passion for this field.
My question is: What would be my best path for this goal? I am on a tight budget and CEH would be nice but still remains really expensive. Do you think I could go straight for OSCP once I graduate?
My experience:
-multiple certifications from my bachelor including: network+, security+, SSCP, ECIH and ECEH.
-basic knowledge with Kali Linux (I have been following youtube tutorial here and there for the last 2 years)
-6 months as a field technician
-6 months as a desktop analyst support (current job)
Thank you!
