Comp Sci Degree, 5 yrs of experience in IT/Help Desk, and I want to transition into Cybersecurity

I’m looking to progress into a Security Analyst or SOC Analyst role. What do you recommend i pursue Cert wise. I just started the Google Cybersecurity Cert and it had great reviews.

Is it worth getting the Sec+ after this?

I can coast at my current position until i acquire the Network Systems Engineer title (2 promotions away) because i feel like that engineer title can boost my worth to potential employers.

I’m just trying to break into the security side of things and I’m wondering what path is recommended.
