Take a look at this security certification roadmap: There's a "Security Operations/Penetration Testing" pillar with all kinds of certificates, from entry-level (below) to expert (above). The requirements for these can be used as a rough guide.

Thanks for the link! Is it common for employers to pay for such certificates? They're quite expensive…
Once you're in the job, maybe.
The challenge is to get in as a junior and to do that you should have something in your hand that proves your abilities.
If you don't have a relevant degree or training, certificates are the next best proof of qualification. And to find out which ones are currently in demand, it's best to look at specific job postings. However, these are often the expensive and time-consuming ones.
If your company believes you're qualified and you've also successfully completed the Junior Pentester and Pen Tester levels. This isn't a protected term, so each company may handle this differently.
