Seeking Guidance After Completing First TryHackMe Certificate

The poster has completed their first TryHackMe certificate (Pre Security) and is seeking guidance on next steps to build a strong foundation in cybersecurity. They express interest in ethical hacking/penetration testing but are unsure whether to pursue another TryHackMe path, focus on Linux and networking, start CTFs, or learn Python alongside TryHackMe. They request advice from others with similar experience to avoid rushing through learning. The goal is to progress methodically rather than just collecting certificates.
