my job is paying for the cism exam and ceh exam. promotions/raises should be declared in april. i’m wondering, is there any leverage with these certs? could i get a higher raise? otherwise, if i leave my job for another one, could these two certs put me in a higher pool than those that don’t have them?
i ask because i am first gen and have no one else to ask

There is literally no reason not to do this, especially since someone else is paying for it

i think their thought process is if someone had enough time to get a cert then they probably don’t have client work

Dont take CEH if you want to go to offensive security. But feel free if you want to just know the very very basics of it.

Oh then yes, do it!

At the end of the day, experience matters the most. Having these certs on your resume may help you get noticed, but without experience, certs don’t bring much value

Not saying that you should not go for certs. Certs are good but they’re mostly used as a “golden stamp” on your resume for recruiters to notice you. Higher salary is more dependent on the experience you have

I have good opinion of both of them, I think the market as well… specially for the CISM (coming from ISACA which has good reputation) is not the typical cert but changes your mindset and it is a plus for GRC/ IT management positions… CEH could proof your skills on a different technical/cyber level…which is awesome too. Why not pursuing them?

Get the CISM and leave

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”.
