How beneficial will a CISA be? I’m trying to level set my expectations on how much the CISA will help on applications and such. I have 6 YOE, 4.5 in tech admin type roles and internal IT audit in industry & 1.5 in IT audit consulting, I have an M.S.IT degree. I’m taking the CISA exam next month.. will the CISA help me stand out more, or help me get to the front of the pack of applicants (for IT audit positions), per se? Curious what everyone’s opinions are..

If It audit is what you want to do, I’d say CISA def helps.
