Are CISSP and a couple cloud certs good enough to get through HR screenings?

I’m debating whether I should go for CISA and CISM too, or focus on building out my homelab and getting more practical experience. Open to perspectives.

End goal is to work in Cloud Security GRC.

Heard CISA is good for GRC centric roles. I'd look up positions you're interested in and see what they list as qualifications or "like to see"

CISA is perfect.

To be transparent, my experience is that the type of professional who has a CISSP (usually very technical) is typically not entirely successful in a GRC role. I have hired CISA holders and would look at them before I would look at someone with a CISSP for a GRC role.

I tell my mentees to be intentional about what kind of certifications they get. Certifications are valuable when they are tailored to the role that a person is targeting.

Depends on the role…

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer.

I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?

I’ve been at my company for 10+ years. I’m not happy with the culture but have flexibility I enjoy, seniority for the time I’ve been here, and pays well. An new job opportunity came up as a Tax Manager but in a different industry which could expand my skillset in different ways, but is not as flexible and the pay is 20k lower. If I stay, I will be Director in few years. What will look better on a resume in the future, continued growth in 1 company or experience in more than 1 company?

Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.
