soc analyst is the usual entry, grc is more writing and policy stuff, still valid but harder to show skills as a newbie. sec+ is fine, but also do tryhackme or blue team labs for hands on. apply early, not after you feel ready. hiring right now is rough

SOC analyst is the more common door than GRC for someone fresh, GRC usually wants you to have seen operations first. Security+ covers the fundamentals fine, just don't let it be the whole plan, do a few investigation labs on CyberDefenders alongside it so the concepts aren't purely theoretical. Networking depth matters more than people expect so don't skip that.
