Yeah, it was the easiest of the CompTIA exams imo

Didn't really change my job prospects, it will get you hits but don't expect to get a security job because of it.....unless you start on a short contract

What do you suggest is a good cert that will definitely have employers seeking you?

Thanks

Its was pretty easy exam, once you know the basics of the exam and understand the concepts.
It helped me get government work, and its the bottom cert you will need if you want to get into the government contracting game. They all require Security+ CE and if you have it coming it, it makes you more attractive if all they have to do is work on a clearance.

I had the toughest time with the Security+ compared to some of the other comptia certs, but it still wasn't too bad. That cert alone isn't going to do much of anything besides perhaps getting some tech support position, but you can just get the A+ for that.

If you want to go into security, then sure it can't hurt. If you are not sure about your career path, then don't bother.
