The next thing to discuss are certifications. In my opinion, unless you need either the CEH or Pentest+ for job purposes (see DoD 8570), avoid them.
Right now, the best ROI and gatekeeper bypass-er certification is the OSCP. https://www.offensive-security.com/pwk-oscp/

There are other certifications from INE/eLearnSecurity and SANS, but they can be more expensive/have less ROI.
Regardless of the certification you choose, you'll likely need to have some skills in basic exploit development, basic hacking, and privilege escalation.

We covered the basic hacking in part 1, so let's talk exploit development first. I have a video series covering the basics here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLKT__MCUeix3O0DPbmuaRuR_4Hxo4m3G
