How close in style are the ISC2 official study guide practice questions to the actual exam? I feel like I’ve read a lot about how the CISSP has a confusing questions structure. But I find the practice questions really easy and I’m scoring >90%. Is this providing a false sense of security?

If you have access to Udemy, Thor Pederson has a bunch of practice tests that I found to be representative of the questions that were on the exam.

The questions aren’t at all like the study guide. Download Boson Exam (like $80) for questions most like the exam. If you can get a 60-70% on that, you should be prepared.

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job. However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
