1. Market/COL
2. Firm or Industry (ex: Accenture or Oracle)
3. Job title
4. Total compensation
5. Certifications held (CISSP, AWS SA, etc.)

I didn’t find it very difficult. Even though it’s an open book exam you need to have a good grasp of the core concepts before the exam. I’ll also caveat that there’s not enough time allotted for the exam to lookup the answer to every question from the study material.

I really need advice. I’ve been in my current role for a couple years and I’m just so defeated. I am good at my job. I work so hard and I’m so undervalued and unappreciated. My work is scrutinized to a degree that no one else experiences (I could give concrete examples of other people delivering design work that haven’t met BASIC design principles and it’s gotten approved) compared to me where I frequently get feedback that somehow makes my work worse but I just comply because it’s not (1/2)
