I wrote a bit about the pitfall(s) of "Certification Paths" - https://shellsharks.com/notes/2023/11/14/stop-worrying-about-certification-paths.

This is coming from someone who has A LOT of certs, and I've learned over this time that it's just not the right way to think about progressing career-wise. You can read more though about certs and some thoughts on what you could take here too https://shellsharks.com/training-retrospective#what-certification-or-training-should-i-take.
