Compare cert salaries and plan your next career move
stryder144 said: I am following this thread. I signed up for the exam and then cancelled once I started reading that it was way more than a simple CEH-style theory exam. I've decided that I'll wait until the next version of the exam comes into beta and take that one. By then (three years or so from now), I should have theory and tools usage knowledge to help me pass this one.

The more I hear about the exam, the less sure I am of where it fits in the certification realm. Better than CEH, but not the practical stuff like eJPT/OSCP? Sorry, but I don't share your opinion on comparing eJPT with OSCP, I know that e-learnsec are hands'on based, but, they are too far from the Offensive Security Courses and Certifications level. I see your point, hands-on vs multiple choices, but, ECSA also is hands-on, but the level compared with OSCP (or OSCE, and so for) is poor. Anyway, there are a lot of Pentesting / "Hacking" certifications now, specially because when Microsoft or Cisco promotes their Certifications, the situtation is clear, you must know to admin and configure those technologies, but with pentesting the thing is different, there are Offsec, EC Council, E-Learnsec, SANS, Comptia+, EXIN, and many others; so, which cert you must take?. The best answer for that now, on 23/03/2018 is sharing this Job Position Req: "MWR Info Security - London OSCP & OSCE won’t hurt your chances, CEH might. We have openings for all grades (Junior to Senior) of consultant in our London, Manchester and Basingstoke...

Best regards.OSCP is another higher realm entirely 😅 EJPT is lower realm
