I'm a recent graduate, I'm having trouble finding a job and I'm looking into getting certifications but I also am looking into taking some courses at SANS. Is it worth it to just take a few individual courses, or should I be looking into completing one of their full certificate programs?
I'm mainly interested in incident response / digital forensics, so I'm trying to figure out what would actually help me break into the field. I already have a cybersecurity degree, but I don’t have much real world experience yet.
For anyone working in the field, do employers actually value SANS courses if you don’t complete the full track? Or would I be better off focusing on more common certs and building projects or labs instead?
Just trying to make sure I’m not wasting time or money.
