Problem with the OSCP is that they decided to now have proctors watching through a webcam for the duration of the exam (24 hours). Not sure if a lot of people in the industry are comfortable with such a gross invasion of their privacy. Otherwise, I'd say that the courses are not very good but the labs are really well made and the exam is definitely interesting (but I would never try another exam from them now that they implemented that proctoring rule)

Currently I am considering that OSCP is losing its appeal for me, I see in my linkedin feed a lot of people showing it off. Well they are still better than me for sure, I can do some easy boxes on HackTheBox maybe some Linux medium. In the end life is not like CTF and we had guy doing pentest like a CTF, where I wanted more broad approach and was trying to explain to him what we want to cover but well I was not the one pulling the trigger and my boss was paying so the guy did what he thought would be the best. From my point of view he missed a lot of low hanging fruit that I wanted to fix. Then he found bunch of BS issues and marked those as critical. My boss at first got mad how we can have such critical issues but after explaining what is what, we don't think about hiring that guy again.
