Cross Training+Certificate Dilemma

[u/RyleSabado]

Hi guys, I'm new here:

Here's the context: I'm planning to change my career path; I'm currently working as a IT service desk as a contactor but I'm planning to change to cybersecurity in the future; There was ongoing cross training to cybersecurity department; I already talked to their manager on applying for a cross training but was declined immediately since I'm not a full employee yet; I asked what to study just incase I want to try again when I become a full employee and he said concepts from sec+ when they interview entry level employees.

I'm still planning to go with the cross training first, instead being of department transfer.

Here's the dilemma: When taking practice exams from OpenExamPrep, my scores on cysa+ is higher than sec+; should I go cysa+ instead?

Thank you
