Not necessarily difficult. A few caveats:
1. CISA does have stricter work requirements (5years) than the CPA (1 year).
2. Fewer jobs (esp in industry), but less competition.
3. Lots of sub services with nuances: SOC 1, SOX, SOX readiness, SOC2/3, etc..
4. I would also know the difference between ERP controls vs infrastructure controls.

I know type of case work factors heavily into opportunities but how much does the MBB name really open? Is that name recognition worth leveling down to grind for another few years?

I once was a CISA… I have no IT background, no IT degrees (2 ACCT degrees tho); never did/saw a shred of an IT audit/assurance work/client/OTJ training of any kind. Forced by employer to choose CISA vs CPA, CISA was way more feasible at the time. I passed 1st try. My firm had zero IT work. So all my CPE reqs lapsed, and my cert expired w/ zero resume material to show for it. I see IT Auditors paid WAY more. I’d love that! I’d re-sit. But idk my head from my ass about practical application.
