When are you going to start the OSCP?
I'm going to cop the 90 day access in a month.
I'm reading The Violent Python right now.

Pretty easy. Some of the likely non-graded questions had some weird application security and authentication bits but it was fine.
Haven't decided on whether i'm going to do OSCP or GCIH first. My Linux and Bash skills aren't quite there yet on the former
I like the Black Hat Python / Gray Hat stuff from Justin Seitz/NoStarchPress.
The VP of tech installed postgreSQL on his Mac and it renamed his account and made it unable to access his files. I fix it. He goes home early and now the problem has come back. I try to troubleshoot over Slack chat...but at this point I think he may have deleted his original home folder.
And I don't think he backed up his stuff after I fixed the issue earlier today either.

What would be the better cert to get first to transition out of a help desk role to sys admin, mcsa/mcse server or rhcsa/rhce? I plan to get both of them tho but just want a recommendation
I have my Network+ CE and Security+ CE. Trying to decide if im going into networking or cybersecurity. I currently work for the DOD. Ive been in IT for about 3 years now. In IT i think it depends on if you want to be really technical or passively technical.
Depends on your ultimate goal. Do you want to go into Devops/Site Reliability Engineer, Cyber security, or Systems Engineering?
Do a search on job boards for RHCSA and MCSA and see what is in demand near you.
What is your current position?
I would create a resume for both types of jobs and shoot my shot.

Real shyt I wish I would have done a Linux cert instead of Sec+. You may be able to finesse your way directly into a cybersec role from help desk so just focus on getting the first one. Thats what I just did.
Honestly, your resume is more important than the cert. The cert just teaches you how to 'learn a new skill' which is the most valuable skill in this field.
After you get the first cert, get your OSCP, if you bout dat life

You may have to just search for 'Linux' or the specific job title. That will give you a more accurate number of the positions available.
