I finally did it — I passed Security+ and wrapped up the CompTIA trifecta (A+, Network+, and Security+). It’s been a grind with a long 50 days, but a rewarding one. If you’re thinking about going down the same path, or already on your way, I want to share a few things I wish I knew when I started. This isn’t going to be one of those super polished, corporate-sounding guides. Just real talk on what to expect, what to study, and how to keep your head straight while doing it.
