Just got my security plus. Looking at getting CISA and Cysa+ next. Don’t have experience in cyber but do have experience in 1.5 in analytics. Do I have a shot at getting any entry level analyst job at any consulting or tech companies?

Certainly. Just apply to entry level jobs and show an interest in the field. The industry is hot so just start networking and applying

Absolutely, if you can get something like the AZ-900 or AWS Certified Practitioner, you have a much higher chance of being taken seriously.

Thank you for the tip, actually just got my AZ-900 too :)

I wouldn’t take any more exams and just focus on getting an entry level role.

Agreed.

Do you have the experience for a CISA? CISA does require years of IT audit experience for the license. You can sit for the exam no problem, but without 5 years of experience (2 can be subbed for a BA degree) you cannot say you’re a licensed CISA, just that you’ve passed the exam. Just a heads up.

i listed internships as work experience and i was able to get my CISM so you definitely can.

I see you work on IBM. We have plenty of cyber work, have you tried getting on a cyber role? I think CySa+ is good but reading some of the logs might be difficult unless you have some experience. Not impossible obviously, but having a cyber role would help. Also as someone said, you need relevant experience for CISA and many other upper level exams.

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.
