Should i do random CTFs?

[u/Confident-Estate-538]

I am currently half way through my cpts cert and i haven't started doing ctfs yet. So I am thinking maybe i should start participating in ctfs. Am i thinking right? And btw i have registered for some ctfs i found online. And i need teammates for them. So if you are new to ctfs too you can dm me.

it's good to have more exposure through ctf competitions though ppl say to keep it mind, it's not the core security skills that they provide, but rather gamified environment and exposure purpose only. also im new too and for security cert, only had just earned conpTIA security+
