Georgia Tech Cybersecurity masters or the analytics masters? Currently in a cyber role at Deloitte. I was thinking it might be better to do the analytics master and get a CISSP. I feel like there is more value in the cissp than a MS cybersecurity

If it is between MS in Cyber and that of CISSP I’d go with CISSP. Especially if you staying at D as it’s required for Manager. It also seen as a highly sought after cert for leadership roles in industry. Oh and in Europe CISSP is now seen equivalent to an MS :)

Only in England...

Lol first off the MS in cyber security is not a real masters degree. If anything the MSCS is the only program worth doing but most people in cyber do not have the technical capability to get it. (From a CS major from top 5 program)

There seems to be a lot of focus on here about what the piece of paper will do for you. Another consideration is what knowledge you'll gain and how that will help you add more value. Another consideration is where you see your career going. Do you see yourself moving into management / leadership? If so is a technical degree the best thing for you? For me I would enjoy getting a Masters of cyber security but I think I would gain more value in the long run in getting an MBA. I already have a CISSP.

The GaTech cyber is pretty technical and in-depth I hear. Not a walk in the park, unless you are already highly technical

Thanks! You too!!!!!

Technical, but thats relative to someone's experience and skillset I suppose.

There ZERO value in MS cybersecurity at Big 4 that’s just a fact. CISSP is expected. The GT MS in analytics opened up doors for my cousin to switch fields so I highly recommend it.

Go Jackets!! That being said defs focus on getting your CISSP before deciding which masters program you do.
I like GaTechs cyber program (at least the in person one) because it is spread between the college of computing (COC), ECE, and public policy, so it can be tailored to your interests. I also highly recommend the ECE prof Dr Beyah. He is a great teacher and does really cool research

Gatech is solid, don't know if prof baskerville still teaches there but he's the OG

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
