Congrats. Though if you meet the criteria for CISSP in the first place you shoulda just done it. Would recommend grabbing the 11hr CISSP and do it with a few weeks study

I am a year short of requirements for cissp for work experience. Also wanted to feel better about myself if I passed first time haha

You could still take the cissp without the minimum requirements.

There’s quite a bit more information on the CISSP. You could compare the SSCP with the CompTIA Security+ cert. They are more on the entry level with CISSP being more of an advanced cert.

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity.

They do the whole "your background and expertise is exactly what we're looking for" then turn around and offer a salary range that is 20k below my current level. My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k
