I kinda hate to be like this, but if you are in a tech position, past the early entry level nonsense, and not making six figures (in the US) then you need to be job hunting.

I don't know if any particular certification will get you there, but IT remains a great practical field to be in. Don't make any sort of "I'm just in this for the money" apologies.

yeah six figures is not what it used to be. like in 2020.

I kind of got lucky and got promoted into a IT Security Analyst position without any certs. I have no idea if anything I’m doing is actual cybersecurity analyst work or if its just what my company thinks it needs. Scheduled to take my SSCP later this month with implications a title change and raise if I pass, though trying to study for it has not been going well [after paid -for training]. I’ve thought of trying to apply for a similar role at another company but not exactly enjoying incident response. Love the company and team I’m on tho.
