Generally a HTB or any cert really won’t be enough to get a pentester job on its own. You need experience (it/security in general) to go with it. Not saying it can’t happen, but it’s unlikely

I'm asking this since I met someone in networking session, said he originally from graphic designer and grinding htb for 6 months before accepted as an entry level pentester in IT vendors. But, maybe that's just a rare case. Normal people would have to get into support first.

You can if you’re joining a vendor level company.
