    For the AD exam, what do you mean by the full exploit chain?? As in is it there will be 1 local + 1 proof.txt in each machine, meaning 3 local 3 proof.txt =6 files to get for the AD set? Or as long as we get a foothold in each machine and root the DC is sufficient for 40 points?

      Hi ! those are very good questions.
      1) By attaining OSCP, yes you can get an entry level junior pentesting job but bear in mind that the contents are really heavy assuming you are not from any IT background, but if you do then it would be easier to grap the concepts .
      2) The OSCP exams will test the knowledge solely from OSCP contents itself and wont be testing you outside of the domain knowledge.
