How did you get your CISA without the 5 required years of experience in at least one of the domains? Did someone at your firm just sign off without you actually having the experience?
I might be wrong but I thought once you have the certificate, keeping the certificate shouldn’t have anything to do with your work experience. Did you not do any CPE courses/events? There’s free ones that come around through ISACA and local chapters
This is correct. You need the experience to get the certification. Maintaining it only requires CPE.
Getting the CISA certification without IT Audit related experience means you filled out the form incorrectly and had someone at your company sign off on it. You don't need to reinstate it to get a job in IT Audit. Of you already had it once, claim it on your resume and explain that you let it lapse. Most employer don't bother asking or care if it's active or not. The fact that you passed once is usually good enough for them, but you don't have to tell them it lapse if they don't ask.
Just say you took the exam and got your CISA, because you were really interested in getting into this field
So some research and understand the basics before you do the interview. Many employers desperate to fill this position and don't need IT specific experience. They just want to know that you have some general idea of what you're getting into.
Is it possible to transition to that or something related, with no practical experience, no future understanding of the industry, or indication whether I will like it/be capable of doing anything? I can go back and re-test no problem. When I had my active cert recruiters were hitting me up for way more salary and different roles. I never accepted them because I felt I had no business doing an IT Audit of any kind and letting anyone negligently hire me just because I had a legit license number seems royally unethical and half-baked.
I always figured I’d get a chance at some experience after I passed. I never did. Idk if it’s worth pursuing - the money is undeniably better and IT def seems like the future of audit in general, but I mean as a fit for me personally as a career pivot/segue/re-do etc.
Anyone have some input on any of this? I passed the exam cuz my financial audit background and I crammed the rest about IT. Otherwise I have minimal context about any of it. Financial audit is the death of my soul. Looking for ways out. Willing to start over for more promising opportunities. I am a true blonde Barbie ditz type: sometimes my witz and common sense dazzles and astounds, others - I will never not fall humiliatingly short lol. Failure is no stranger. Neither is condescension.
All brainstorming welcome.
