Would anyone be interested in looking over my resume for feedback? I have 5YOE, comp sci degree, security+, cisa, cism

Can I get my path into cybersecurity consulting at manager level

What’s an optimal path to get in ?

Is anybody here in IT auditor that can tell me which one is better to get first ? (CISA or CIA )

I’m trying to transfer to internal audit

Took my CISA exam yesterday through online proctoring. Launched the exam 30 mins early since I wanted to make sure things went smoothly. Took 20 mins for the proctor to verify everything before checking me in. About a third of the way through my questions the proctor popped into the chat saying stop whispering and moving you mouth. Totally put me on edge as I was just reading through to better understand the question. That threw me off a bit.

Better to get RIMS-CRMP or CISA?

Is IR Readiness Consulting at Accenture a good area to pivot to from IT/Cyber Audit? I'm a newly promoted Senior in Advisory with CISA, CISM, CCSK, and Sec+. ~3YOE. What salary/level should I be looking for? Currently at $87k base(MCOL), but feel like I could do a lot better.

What's the process for CISA verification or any other ISACA cert? I paid the $50 application fees and got the application signed and verified, but what do I have to do now? How to submit my application? There is no option in front my of certification, it just says your application fees has been submitted

CISA exam easy? Finished book and so far seems east. Anyone who took it recently knows which sections to focus on. I know Domains 1,4 and 5 are most on exam but want tips. Also if anyone has the question bank from ISACA that would be dope.

I’m in a SoCal HCOL and have been asking for 100k for Senior Internal Audit Roles (2 years) and working on my CiSa.
Is that too optimistic?

Is a certification (CPA, CIA, CISA) required for a senior position at other companies? My company won’t promote until I get a cert even though I have the experience and already performing senior work.

Any reason I should keep my CPA license active?

Got it for the bonus and resume booster when I joined Big 4, but I’m an IT Auditor outside of public accounting now, with a CISA. My firm pays to keep it active, but it Seems like I’m wasting time logging CPEs for a license that nobody in my position needs.

A-lign entry consultant - offer received

EY Business/risk analyst - final round next week

Trying to decide what direction I want to go in. I'm leaning towards A-lign, as I appreciate the fully remote environment and want to get my CISA. But full compensation package does leave a little to be desired.
