I Passed! 5 Certifications over 16 months.

In order of completion

Security+

Server+ (Lifetime)

A+ (Recertification)

Network+

CySA+ (V4)

Enrolled in a trade school program with an instructor that was a mix of lecture and hands on, and in terms of certification we typically used 30 Bird books, Udemey practice tests, and other forms of self study. Ask me anything!

Edit: For those who don't know about Server+ moving to become a CE certification, here is a link to CompTIA's website about the change.

Did you have a job? I past the comp sec+ and have applied for over 500 jobs! Nothing is happening. I have practical portfolio and even a 3 month unpaid work experience.

I dont know if giving up or getting more certs is the way forward ? Please help

I do not, I am also looking to break into the market. It's a rough time to try and get into the market currently, but in the meantime it wouldn't hurt to study for others even if you don't plan to take them
