I am an entry level IT working as a help desk but want to advance my career

Meh, I wouldn't even bother with the A+ given your position.

What do you like in IT? Networking, Linux, Databases... Pick a path and get certified. AWS or Azure are pretty awesome, Powershell and Python will be indispensable the higher you go, a good Networking foundation is also indispensable. Cybersecurity sells!

Pick one you like and start playing with it. If you want to go AWS, I would not bother with any of those CompTIA certs. None. Just start learning AWS now. You can always take the Linux and Network certs later, which are prob the more relevant to AWS. Or you know, just take the AWS certs for those corresponding fields, which would be my advice.
