The OSCP is a great goal to have and will open many doors for you. Having that cert along with experience as a junior analyst you should be able to get a job as a penetration tester or something more senior.
However, there are a million and one resources online that will tell you what you need to do to prepare for the OSCP.
- who-knows95 8y agothank you, i kinda see it as the rubber stamp before i can call myself a proper cyber security member. doing pen testing would be alot of fun, would i need to get the ethical hacking cert
- world32 8y agoWhen you say "the ethical hacking cert" do you mean Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)? If so then no. In fact having it on your CV might even hurt your chances of getting a job because it is so meaningless most pen testers look at it as a joke. You don't need the OSCP to call yourself a proper cyber security member at all, there are plenty of pen testers that do not have it. But it can be a convenient way for a junior to break into the industry. The other option is to do bug bounties which demonstrate that you are capable of going through the entire pen test process in a real world context. Also, one thing to point out is that reporting is a huge part of pen-testing. Being able to write with perfect grammar and punctuation is vital.
