Depends on the role. I discredit most who have a CISSP only

like

GIAC certs are at the top of our list

like

CRISC if you’re interested in risk management aspects of the industry

Is cissp worth it before the 5 years?

Those are it... Don't really need anything else.

Get cloud security

EY1, why?

Aws security cert

CCSP (cloud)

Sure...but have a good story. Id say 4 years in is where i would look to do it if i did security work while in school.

Cissp is a waste of time

^^^ agree but industry likes it.

Id say anything from sans / giac or offensive security is good. The rest is meh at best
