Curious how being a ‘CISSP Candidate’ (passes the exam but doesn’t have experience requirements) would fair in a job search. Better to get years of experience requirement before looking, or is passing the exam enough?

Just note that once you have passed the exam, you have 9 months to apply for certification and get the 5 years of required experience (1 yr waiver if degree in IT/sec) before you have to take the exam again. So plan to take the exam if you have at least 3.25/4.25 years of IT experience

So I have completely lost interest in my area of practice mainly because I haven’t been exposed to many matters (our team is really slow) and I am the most junior in the team. So billable work is never constant. I feel like this has impacted my interest and stagnated my growth. I am thinking of moving into a different area of practice that I’m interested in. Has anyone ever done this? I’m actually depressed and I really hate being given work now. I have ADHD. Please advise
