Just passed the CISSP with a mid-term (3-5 years) goal of moving into an ISSM-like or Cyber Risk role. I also have a PMP and various other certs and non-technical degrees. Any advice on what’s next?

Congrats. Personally, I don’t put a lot of weight in PMPs as some of my most inept and clueless PMs have been PMP certified while some of the best have not needed one. But CISSP is a biggie so I’m thrilled for you. I agree with a lot of the other comments here. Agile/Scrum/Sigma are good. Or if you are set on a career in Infosec, then why not follow up your CISSP with a CISM or CISA? Just a thought

Do you still see opps for lean, sigma improvement gigs? Switched to consulting because Agile dried them out I thought. Thoughts?

Scrum is more valuable than PMP from what I have felt lately. But I am in data science where everyone hates PMP poking their noses in stuff they don't understand.

How about agile certifications?

K1, I thought about that. Do you feel they are valuable if you don’t intend on working in a truly Agile development environment?

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer.

For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
