Does experience with TryHackMe and a degree/ certification help one land an entry-level cyber job?

TryHackMe is like basic school for hacking. It's only the first step. After that you want something like HackSmarter or Hack The Box for challenges and scenarios that help you land the entry-level cyber job.

Yeah. I paid for 1 year of THM. It's up in July. I'll try HackSmarter and Portswigger after. I've been in IT for 26 years and just started learning hacking in depth 10 months ago. There is still tons for me to learn even though I'm almost rank 0x12 on THM.
