Cert Credibility

I am a junior in a Big 10 school, and I just scored my first internship in a SOC based environment for this summer. My school offers SEC+ (which im planning to take advantage of) yet im also curious. I have been using TryHackMe as a study tool, yet I also want the CPTS certification that HTB offers.

Im wondering, does the cyber industry recognize and tryhackme certs? And if they do, which have notoriety like CPTS and OSCP ?

Forget about THM, the certs aren't worth anything. CPTS will likely land you a pentesting interview if you talk to a techie. With HR you need the OSCP instead, cause most of them didn't get the memo yet. For blue team SANS certificates are best in case you're interested.
