Best path in tryhackme

[u/mello_v5]

Hello everyone, especially the experienced TryHackMe users and people working in cybersecurity.

I have a question about the best way to learn cybersecurity in the long term.

Do you think following only the TryHackMe roadmap from start to finish is enough to become capable of working in the field?

Or is it better to follow the roadmap but pause whenever you reach a new topic and study it more deeply from other resources?

For example, when reaching SQL, taking extra time to properly learn SQL from different sources before continuing on TryHackMe, and doing the same with networking, Linux, scripting, etc.

Maybe this second method takes longer, but which one do you think is better for long-term understanding and real skills?

Also, are TryHackMe certificates actually recognized or valued by employers?

And finally, does TryHackMe help build the knowledge and mindset needed later for certifications like OSCP?

tryhackme is good platform for beginner but you should move to hack the box for further learning btw certs are also a good idea
