SOC Analyst Seeking Career Advancement After 1.5 Years Without Interview Success

A Tier 1 SOC Analyst working at a large MSSP with 1.5 years of experience is seeking career advice after six months of unsuccessful job applications. The individual holds extensive credentials including ITIL, A+, Security+, Network+, CySA+, Pentest+, SSCP, and Torq SOC Analyst certifications, along with both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Cybersecurity. Despite their qualifications, they have not secured any interviews and feel their professional development has stagnated in their current position. They are looking for guidance on transitioning to roles with greater responsibility and are considering pursuing CISSP certification while remaining open to alternative recommendations. Additionally, they are interested in exploring job titles beyond the traditional "Security Analyst" designation that might align with their qualifications and experience level.
