Are You Studying… or Just Collecting Certs? 🍱

Let’s be honest - half of cyber Twitter and LinkedIn are just digital Pokémon trainers.

“Gotta catch ‘em all!”

Except instead of badges, it’s cert logos on your banner.

Here’s the truth no one likes to say out loud:

You don’t get hired for certs.

You get hired for skills — and certs are just the receipts.

If your “strategy” is stacking every shiny badge that pops up on YouTube…

Congrats — you’ve built an expensive hobby, not a career.

You don’t need 10 certs.

You need direction.

You need a roadmap that compounds — each cert building on the last.

I built exactly that:

✅ Entry → Intermediate → Advanced

✅ Only certs that recruiters actually care about

✅ Clear list of what to avoid (looking at you, CEH & Google Cyber)

Comment “ROADMAP” and I’ll send you the BowTiedCyber 2025 Cert Blueprint - the one that turns “random study mode” into career launch mode!
