In terms of credibility and career progression, what is more impactful, obtaining certification (e.g. Azure, AWS, CISM) or pursing a cybersecurity masters degree. Based out of Canada, at the associate level. Thank you for your responses in advance!

Certifications & experience!! Companies don’t care about education anymore, why do you think companies are pulling out of paying for a masters. Many companies are not even paying to get your education background check, it’s the new normal.

I think long term the masters is better if it’s from a reputable university, but short term certifications are the easiest way to boost yourself

NYU cybersecurity masters program is remote. I will be graduating in May. I am echoing the long term play + future network. I have seen that they now accept international students into the program.

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?
