Contact your company and pay the difference between what your company pays for your green card and the addl cost. I know many who do.

But why would you want to upgrade? The only real (usable) difference is that you are auto enrolled for the points instead of having to pay $95/year. No other benefits that I’m aware of - Precheck (deloitte pays for it) and all the other benefits are kinda average at best.

It’s paid for by the firm when you reach the SM/SpL level. Until then you might be able to do it but the annual fee would not be reimbursed. The SM benefit can either cover that, a personal platinum Amex, or an airline club/lounge membership (choose one).

$395/year.

Hey guys,

Currently in Saas sales for MDM and AV, but I'm getting tired of the sales side and constant budget chase. Probably also because we get few leads and I have to do a lot of building pipeline from scratch. I'm thinking about taking some online courses to try to move over to cyber security, what would be the easiest step that way career wise- preferably also away fro sales?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
