Career help!

Hi everyone, I need some help figuring out my career and what I need to do.
I’m currently working in an MNC as a Solutions Engineer specifically for security and data backup solutions. This covers cyber protection and recovery too. I have had an interest in cybersecurity for a long time now. I have completed the CC cert. Now I’m going for a masters degree in cybersecurity in a few months.
I want to get into roles like security architect/engineer or pen tester.
I know a degree is not going to do much so what else should I do or focus on so I can get a chance at a job role I want?
