OSCP is entry level? Can you touch more on this? I keep seeing different opinions on this Certificate to the point where I’m confused.. I saw somewhere that you had to have a couple of years of experience before taking that, then somewhere else I saw that it was entry level and should be the first certification you go for vs CEH.. There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there. It’d be nice to have this cleared up.🤔

Pentesting isn't really an entry level role that's why you hear people saying you need some experience first. CEH is useful from an HR perspective in some countries and industries, but doesn't prepare you at all for pentesting. The caveat here is that if a company is taking on a jr pentester with training then in this case that won't matter so much as they'll teach you. The main reason there are conflicting views is that every org is different. Some orgs will hire pentesters with no certs, some with CEH and some with OSCP or PNPT etc etc. This makes it impossible to have a solid rule to follow since hiring managers just choose what they think is OK. The industry as a whole is not aligned :(

Thanks for pointing the importance of basics. I have seen guys who do not know the basics and are jumping into Cybersecurity by following the hype of some random youtuber. It is particularly the case for Bug Bounty. Its been perceived that Bug Bounty is all there is too Web PT or Pentesting in general. Glad to see, someone reiterate the importance of basic Pentesting and foundational knowledge.

This is awesome and useful knowledge, thanks for posting! I do suggest putting more verbal energy into it, though. The white shirt, grey background, and otherwise calm and borderline monotone way of speaking is dreadfully boring and will make it difficult for the newer generation of future cybersecurity specialists to continue listening.
