The biggest mistake new candidates make is picking a certification before a path. Certifications don't exist in isolation — they build on each other, and taking them out of sequence means covering the same ground twice or hitting a wall at the next level.
Cloud paths (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) follow a Foundational → Associate → Professional structure. If you have no cloud experience, start at Foundational. If you already manage servers or networks, you can usually jump to Associate.
Security paths (CompTIA, ISC2, ISACA) build from broad to specialist. CompTIA A+ → Network+ → Security+ is the standard entry sequence. CISSP and CISM require years of experience — plan the study, then match it to your career timeline.
Networking paths (Cisco) are still highly linear: CCNA is the foundation for everything above it. Even though Cisco removed the CCNA prerequisite for CCNP in 2020, skipping it cold is not advisable.
