I consider myself technical and the CISSP was easy but has a lot of random crap it asks you to memorize that I'd just google if it ever came up. Even if you are 10+ years experiences you'll have to study for it.

It has a lot of important information on it but memorizing a bunch of different outdated encryption methods and knowing why each is vulnerable is obnoxious. Granted they recently updated it and I passed last year so maybe it's more relevant stuff.

It’s not hard. You just need to prepare the right way.

Have u passed the CISA? I find the CISSP much easier for technical folks.

I found cisa not so difficult. I have legal background but security expertise so I'm not sure how I can assume the exam difficult

Yea CISSP will be hard for you. Study up on the network portion especially. That'll be the most difficult for you.

CISSP is hard, even for those with experience.. The key is to be strategic, organized, and consistent with your study plan. When it comes to taking exams, it all comes down to your decision making. It's not a very technical exam at all.
