D1 screwed up the flowchart.
Step 1: CISSP
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit

The key is to take that sweet sweet cert and your IAM skills, and turn them into cloud security ops or working IAM at a tech company.

Get the CISSP cert - everything else will get sorted out on its own. There are some exit ops without CISSP but the competition is so big that it is probably not worth pursuing them.

like

I think hiring managers pretty much list CISSP for every experienced cyber security role.

May be product manager in Cyber/IAM domain? Anyone has any thoughts on this path?

It will definitely help but I don’t think it’s prerequisite for the role.

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority). I know for litigation they are more clearly valued and linked to that type of work, but I have reconsidered my interests and now am thinking of going into corp. However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?

I need some career advice,
In my current company I think the development portion I've been given is kinda simple, I've asked my manager and seniors to level up my work and stuff, *which they did* but I kinda caught up.. now what should I do, should I ask them to level up again or look for better opportunities
Also, I had some Interest in CyberSecurity and I grinded it on my pre-final semester at Uni, should I try on that path as well or should I stick to development?

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
