Do companies care if you’ve passed the CISA but don’t have the years of experience to get fully certified?

You could just put passed CISA exam on your resume, I think CPA people do that before they get the years of experience

I’m just wondering if it’s valued at all in the hiring process

I would put down any exams passed or certifications owned. Unless you're applying to something where the CISA isn't relevant, having exams passed vs. being officially certified are the same thing to employers.

I was going through a rotation process at my firm and their practice asked me "are you a CPA or have your CPA exams passed?" For them, CPA was a requirement to rotate, and the question made it obvious that passed was just as good as certified.

Absolutely. I just got hired at a new job in part because I had already passed the CISA, and had other interviews/recruiters reaching out specifically because I advertised that I had passed the CISA exam.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.
