Ask your company to pay for the certs. At best you get free certs and can then leave them and make more money somewhere. At worst they say no.
Going from zero certs to getting my Sec+ landed me a better job with a new company and nearly doubled my income. (Cloud architecture engineer). Can't speak to any other certs.
I am a programmer, and I get paid whether or not the product is bought. Shovel your dogshit somewhere else.
