I'm in a very similar position. Right now I'm working on tryhackme.com's junior pentester learning path. It's OK, but I think I'd be more excited to find a project or goal to focus on instead of a shallow overview of lots of topics (even though the context feels valuable). I'll finish the course, but I think I'll be done with tryhackme after that and go back to looking for something more specific the dive in to.

It’s a little expensive but have you checked out the OSCP cert? It’s the only certificate in tech that I think is almost unanimously accepted as a decent one as it’s so practical. That might help give you a goal to keep learning? I’m going through it myself at the moment.

I have thought about this actually. It sounds really interesting but at $1500 for 90 days of access I'll need to make sure to find a time when I don't have much on my plate for 90 days. How much time per week do you feel you need to dedicate to it? Are you enjoying the process?

They’ve changed this recently actually, its $799 for 12 months of lab access and some entry level certs. I signed up for this and will pay the extra for the OSCP once I’m ready!
