CISM more of a management. CISSP more of engineering manager. CISSP adds more weightage to anyone's profile.

like

From someone who holds cisspnfor past 5 years and is planning to get cism next, here is an unpopular opinion.

Neither helps, nobody cares, you could get as much leverage by simply saying you have studied for the exam.

If you are getting reimbursement from your organization who is ALSO willing to pay your renewal fees (it adds up, $75 -$100 per year, $600 for the exam, $Xxx for training/books)

All these things considered and still want to go for it, then go with CISM because it's a quicker win than CISSP. It should ideally take lesser time.
