Sec+ is an entry level cert, and it just sets the groundwork for cybersecurity. That’s why the US DoD hands it out like candy (they do have to actually pass the test). but there’s stuff like CYSA+, CASP+, SSCP, CSSP, OSCP, GCIH. I would recommend researching the field and building out a roadmap on what you want to do, as that gives you a game plan on what certs to get. I know we had this conversation before, but just grabbing random certs left and right isn’t going to help.

Also look at what employers are looking for cert and experience wise. Not to be rude, but that Google cert isn’t exactly sought after. Also, it’s a certificate and not a certification. So while it looks like semantics at face value, it makes a huge difference.

One big thing to note is that cyber security is generally not an entry level position.

I have Sec+ and CYSA+

A lot of companies are jumping the ship to AWS (Amazon Web Services), might want to look into certs for that. And Amazon's services are a complex maze of hefty complexion.
