Is Information Security Pre-Assessment Coordinator a good job role? Should I leave being a risk assessor in grc to that job ?

Sounds like a PM role. But hey, if it pays more, you can call me whatever you want

Why title wise it is not good

If you're already a risk assessor, it seems like this may be a step down to do pre assessment work such as coordination and planning or other PMO type work. It doesn't sounds like a vertical leap or even horizontal. It sounds backwards a little. Although at a certain point, the higher you go you do become more strategic and less technical but I'm not sure if this is it.

Does anyone have any helpful tips for brain fog?

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.

I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
