Hi! Want to show my commitment, enterprise and dedication to a pivot to cyber. Seek advice. 20 YOE Communications/research and consulting background. Earned Security+ and CIPP/US. Aspire to CISSP, but know I qualify only for associate (ISC)2 member until 5 years in industry. Can't seem to get to job offer stage landing first role. Should I strive to get CISSP now, even though I can't list it formally until I achieve the required industry experience? Thanks.

Studying and getting a provisional CISSP won’t hurt but might not be your best direction. Any domain inside cyber you’re looking at? (It’s a broad field)

Yes, GRC. And awareness/education. Taking short-term project roles now for a global (but not Big 4) cyber consulting firm. Stuff like distilling dense, partner-authored white papers into engaging content, like infographics, for external audiences and prospective clients. Need to convert to full time ASAP.

How hard was CIPP/US with no actual industry experience? I’m thinking of taking getting that cert and making the transition myself but feeling overwhelmed just at the idea of it.
