Certs are not vital, but OSCP is well known and highly regarded. I haven't heard of any of the rest, beyond CEH (the "joke"), and OSCE (just next-level OSCP).

Certs are not vital, but OSCP is well known and highly regarded. I haven't heard of any of the rest, beyond CEH (the "joke"), and OSCE (just next-level OSCP). A lot of people do get OSCP (for it's perceived value) and CEH (as a box-ticking exercise), and the former is of definite benefit, but I wouldn't call any of them necessities. The roadmap seems more of a completionists reference rather than anything else. All that said, they do seem to know what they're talking about (particularly The CEH joke)
