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

like

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.

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

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

I have 2 offers as mentioned below(1 year Internship + 11 months Full-time experience):
1. Adobe (MTS-1 Bangalore) - 15.3L fixed + 3L Joining Bonus + $27000 Stock for 4 years
2. Qualcomm (Engineer - Hyderabad)- 15.6L fixed + 5L Joining Bonus + $10000 Stock for 3 years
Which one should be considered?
How are both companies with respect to Work Life Balance, learning, hikes, future opportunities and on-site travel opportunities?

My current role started out as a way to increase my skills, but for the past year the majority of what I’ve done is transcribing data between systems, which is one of the things I’m very bad at. My brain switches letters/numbers. With some recent changes, all other responsibilities were removed. I had a good reputation in the company before this, but now every day I feel like a failure because I keep making mistakes.
