Advice for studying for CISA? I’ve purchased the CRM, QAE, and Hemang Doshi’s book.

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
