Should I get PenTest+ or CySA+?
We would recommend getting the PenTest+ or CySA+ first, as recommended by CompTIA on their cybersecurity career path. If you feel you are already at the skill level of a CySA+ then possibly that's the better choice for you. There is no reason you couldn't invest in both training courses and tackle both.
Is PenTest+ entry-level?
No. PenTest+ is not regarded as entry-level, it follows the Network+ and Security+ certifications on the CompTIA cybersecurity career path.
