I don’t think the PMP lines up with your goals. It may make you look unfocused. Don’t focus on the number of letters you have after your name, but just focus on getting on the right type of projects to give you the experience you want

OSCP. You will be well recognized in Cyber and never ever want to do another cert ever again

The SAP certs are very expensive, and unlikely to be covered by the firm unless you are doing SI, but I thought the security cert looked cool regardless .

Check out IAPP.org. They are THE privacy cert body. Both US and EU certs.

Privacy is hot and is critical in the future of risk.

That’s the one I’m considering. Also in RA, have CPA and CISA, and feel like the PMP is a solid choice because of how versatile it is compared to others

CPA is a beast compared to those certs. If it's difficult I suggest CIA is a good alternative that's internationally recognized and can add some business process credibility to your IT background that's helpful for moving up to and past a Director of IA role down the road.

EY 1, umadbro ?

I really think I can do better.. I got both the certs during my first year with the firm..

Short term interests are cyber and SAP.. long term would be to grow into top management leadership roles..

Why not get SAP ceritified?

Security +

EY4 maybe that’s what I actually need haha..

EDD that’s a great suggestion, what do u suggest
