CISSP if you can crack it.

CISSP weights more, there is enough free content out there to study (youtube, reddit, cybrary). Second choice would be CISM instead of CRISC.

Spot on

“Cyber” is very broad. Are you trying to get into auditing of Cybersecurity controls? Or are you trying to career move from your IT Audit team to cyber consulting? If that’s the case, there’s a chance neither cert is going to be of much tactical use to you.

That’s what I did too.

Already have CISA

You probably don't have the 5 years experience to actually get CISSP, so you'd just be an associate. Get CRISC, CISM, or CISA.

You need five years of experience for all of these Certs you mentioned

CISA

Security+ first.
Then CISSP after you have the Cyber experience

Skip CRISC. You won’t gain anything over a CISA. I’ve never met a cyber leader that has asked me to include a CRISC on the team.

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

The second offer is for a BDR position at a larger and faster growing company with a base of $60k and another $20k in OTE. Also some stock options but they aren’t public yet.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
