I recently achieved a multi-year goal of obtaining the OffSec Certified Expert3 certification after achieving the OSCP, OSEP, OSWE, and OSED penetration testing certifications. It was a serious grind but I learned a lot, the skills are applicable to my work, and hopefully all this alphabet soup helps if I end up looking for a new position in the future. Right now I’m glad the grind is over and I can start building depth of knowledge in some of these areas.
