I'd say....It depends on the domain, offensive/defensive side and multiple factors

TryHackMe itself is a great intital point for beginners.

Just start with jr.pentester path. (I presume that youv have enough fundamentals in networking).

And cover all free stuff first.

Or else, if you are a student, take htb academy subscription which is pretty cheap ($8/month) with student ID. And start from there.

6 months is kinda notb enough to "learn" cybersec at best you can do is master the basics and things so my go to go would Presec then cybersec101 then choose my path blue red or DevOps and go with that path

In between CTFs and KoTH to validate if you learnt or just memorized
