Hi folks I have recently passed CISSP certification. But I am not sure how to use it to improve from carrer stand point.

Does CISSP really help me to get a job with good pay? . I have 5 TOE in cyber security.
After completing the certification in enthuasim, I got know it's manager level cert and will it be usefull for me at my current phase of the carrer Or job?

Please guide. Thanks

It really depends on your function and role. Like you said, it's a manager level certification. It differentiates you and gives you an edge when you are looking out for M+ level jobs.

It also depends on function because a CISSP will provide much more value for someone working in GRC as compared to lets say someone with appsec background.

Depending on your current role and skill sets you can use the CISSP to either get a salary bump in your existing org or try to switch to a role/ company which values CISSP.

In my personal experience I have seen that industry values CISSP more than consulting companies.

Thank you mate

.

It depends on what your expectations are. What do you think the cissp will do for you?

To get the certificate you have to apply for it and pay a higher fee.

You can coast for 5 to 6 years at a lower cost by just clearing the exam

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.
