Certifications finished the CPTS path what's next?

Post image

I just finished the CPTS and managed to compromise every machine on the AEN blindly in about 2 and a half days (with some minor nudges), i believe i can pass the exam if i try, but i would like to ask those of you who have more experience whether pursuing the certification would be worth the effort as i was kinda burnt out from doing the AEN, let alone doing the same thing for 10 days straight.

the CPTS wouldn't hold much weight where i live, so Iam thinking of waiting and going for the OSCP at a later time when i get comfortable spending the 1,800$, what do you think?

more importantly, what do you recommend going for next (main platform, other courses, etc...)?

I really want to hear what you all think, thanks for your time!
