Hi All, My sister has done Computer Science engineering Bachelor degree and has 5 years of work experience in India. She is applying for MBA at https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/programs/mba/full-time-mba/ and https://kelley.iu.edu/programs/full-time-mba/academics/majors-minors/marketing.html. Her overall goal is to get into Software Product management. Any suggestions if any of these MBA’s can open path in the desired space or if she is better of doing an MS in Comp engg. to further develop deeper Technology skills. Thanks

I’m going to quote Kevin Mandia’s book: “we have observed an inverse relationship between the number certifications an individual has and their actual technical skill.
Get one good one and spend the rest of your personal development time building your skills not your credentials.
One certification is enough to get you to the next level and many times it is a job requirement. In information security area, CISSP is the standard and that should be enough. That being said, don’t limit yourself to only one certification as they are knowledge.
Take certifications because they will add value to your skill set, they will help you shape the information that is or is not in your head, you will find out that your way of thinking is not always right, but certifications will help you to fine tune it.
Of course there is an overlap with many certifications (e.g, CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, CTPRP, etc.), their core is information security, but cissp will give an overview of infosec, cism will help you think about sec as a manager, cisa as an it auditor, crisc will help you understand security controls, ctprp will give you the basics of vendor management, etc.
So my recommendation, don’t limit yourself when it comes to learning, besides as a consultant is better to be credentialed by a third party (e.g., ISC2, ISACA, etc.).
