Hi there, I have 3.5 YOE working for NHS Finance. I applied to Deloitte Risk Advisory, Public Sector (London, UK) and was successful. Waiting to hear back with package offer but it’s been over 2 weeks - was told they may offer M2 grade, any ideas what this is?
I’m also interviewing for Senior consultant role also at Deloitte. How much would this typically pay?
Torn whether to stay within NHS as I will be getting an internal promotion or move to Deloitte.
What’s the WLB like? Good job security?

Kind souls who successfully exited to Google,
Would you be kind enough to refer me to a role at Google!
Came across a role that's a good fit. Would ideally like to target it through a referral and not by applying through the career site.
Would also love to maybe take you for a meal or alike to thank you for it :) Google

Yes, get it! It helps you understand cyber concepts, RM, etc. Signed non-technical Cyber Strategy SM with CISSP.
"The CISM certification is solely management-focused, while CISSP is both technical and managerial and designed for security leaders who design, engineer, implement and manage the overall security posture."

In terms of certs listed here, the Sec+ is probably the 'easiest' with an abundance of free resouces. The CISSP, CISM require 5+ years of work experience or you become an Associate/not have the full cert until you have the work experience.
If you can’t even get through security +, CISSP is gonna be a lot harder…
I am studying for it now. It is a lot. I started reading the All In One by Shon Harris and got stuck halfway through (about 700 pages out of 1300). Watched a bootcamp and am halfway through another, before I dive back into the book. Literally doing things every day (or every other if work goes long). It is just a lot of material and it took me a while to find a consistent rhythm. Goal is to take it by the end of the year.
CISSP is a good starting point
Starting point? Makes it sound like the CISSP is an entry level cert. I'd start with SEC+
Appreciate all the comments / feedback. May just retake SEC + first

Retake the security+
CISSP is a good starting point once you have enough exp. It’s like a drivers license for cybersecurity governance - it shows that you know the basics. Then, your experience speaks for you.
Usually when people talk about technical skills within cybersecurity, they mean some form of coding. Security+ and CISSP are both non-technical. However like others have mentioned if you can’t pass Security+ first, you don’t stand a chance at the CISSP.
Sec+ is so basic. You need to learn more just to be able to have things explained to you.
Get. The. CISSP.
