About to take Security + and I’m looking for avenues to pursue.

Hey everyone,

I’m taking my Security+ exam next week and provided I pass, I want to use the time before I head back to school in spring 2026 wisely.

I’ve really enjoyed the red team/pentest part of the course I’m doing at Fullstack Academy, but I’m also interested in blue teaming, especially forensics and incident response. Since I’m still not sure which direction I want to commit too, I’m looking for advice on projects or certifications that could help me get a better grasp on what I enjoy more

Are there any projects that cover both red and blue teaming? Or certs that give a good overall foundation without forcing me to pick one path too early? I’d also love to hear about your experiences moving between these fields.

Thanks in advance!
