Hello Mastercard employees. I have been trying to break into MC for long now.
I have 2 yrs workex post MBA. I have experience in data analysis and consulting. But I don't want to get into consulting anymore. I am looking for analytics roles. Anyone here would be able to DM and guide me on the available options at Mastercard?

CISA is dumb easy
One week of time off to study and take the exam, if you've been in IT audit for a bit with enough IT knowledge.
I started studying for a few hours a week from March - April, then started studying more during May and took the exam late May. The Q&A database had about 50 hours logged, reading the study guide was a few more hours on top of that.
Studied an hour a night for the week leading up to the exam. Passed easily.
6 hours
Not sure how much experience you guys who studied for one weekend have but there's no way I would've passed it having studied for just 1 weekend. My friend tried that and failed. I wasn't going to repeat her mistake.
I did about 40 hours
Again... it depends on years of experience in the field. That helps a lot.
If you are even a moderately good test taker or just fairly smart, you should be able to do it with one solid weekend of studying. Taking a week off seems like overkill unless you just don't do well on tests. I know probably a dozen people that studied for about 10-12 hours the weekend before and passed easily.
Bought the test bank the night before and did practice problems for 4 hours. Got a ~550 score. You have to know if you're a good test taker though.
