Why not? CISA is not a hard exam to pass, minimum time investment. Literally just need to study couple weeks off the ISACA database questions and u can pass it no problem. Can be a good backup plan if your new track doesn’t pan out

Assuming your transfer is going to happen, I would say it’s not worth the time investment. Use the time to build capabilities using the more advanced features in Excel, R, Alteryx, Power BI and Tableau. Meanwhile, continue to meet and exceed expectations in IA to improve sponsorship and support of your transfer.

If you want to do analytics go do analytics now. Waiting is a waste of time

Only reason to take the CISA is for the bonus or if you need it for promotion.

CISA is great to meet minimum promotion requirements if needed. If not needed for promotion, don’t bother

So I used to work for a company where my job was good, was a director of business solutions for a fashion brand. Only issue was that the CFO micromanaged and ended up leaving. My background is digital transformation however I took an infrastructure position to rebuild a provincial healthcare system. I always lacked the hardware side and thought this was a good move but I feel like I’m losing my digital skills and don’t enjoy the work. I’m in it for 7 months now.
