Not sure what next step to take
Hey all, so I live in Germany and I'm currently trying to switch careers from Quality Assurance in the Automotive Industry to Cyber Security. I started pursuing cybersecurity this year and ended my Coursera Google Cybersecurity Course back in May. Now I was studying for my COMPTIA Sec+ exam, but I wanted to find an internship part time as fast as possible so I can get hands-on experience and maybe move on from my current job that is sucking the life out of my body!
The thing is, I'm learning by myself (so far so good), but I need guidance on what my next step would be. Should I keep learning and do the Sec + exam first? Pursue internships (although hard to find with my little to no experience, in my opinion)? Should I do a cloud course/certification like Azure to add to my CV?
Do some kind of basic projects to add to my portfolio? or level up my THM? (if yes, this would be the first step, what projects could I start with?)
I'm kinda lost and would appreciate some knowledge and opinions from people already on the field!
Thank you in advance!

if you're still with your company id say it's probably better to try to switch to a larger organization (i.e. folks wagon) in your current role and then try to get into the more technical side there
idk what the job market is like in Germany but certainly now is not a good time to be actively looking for work in USA rn...
