Planning to give CISA in a month as per the new job practice. Is the Manual really important or can I just do the Q&A book? Is the Q&A database worth the price?

Consensus seems to be the Q&A database is all you need. I drilled it for two weeks with no other prep or work experience and passed comfortably.

Hmm.. thanks.. the database seemed too expensive so was wondering if it would be worth it

They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
