Should I complete the CISSP? I'm currently a cybersecurity auditor/consultant at a Big 4 and I have the CISM, CISA, and CIA. I'm hoping to transition into a TPM role managing security compliance at a tech company. Would the time and money be worth it to obtain the CISSP?

The CISSP will help land interviews to some extent but it won’t guarantee an offer as much as some people think. I would still recommend it but just keep in mind that it’s not the silver bullet that some people think it is.

I'm hoping the CISSP will get my resume noticed more and will get me more interview opportunities.

I respectfully disagree, GRC is not cybersecurity it's an audit function. Just because your compliant does not mean your organization is secure.

Well, nothing's guaranteed, of course. But that would establish your general cybersecurity expertise, so it's fair to say it would make you a more attractive candidate. I guess it's a good question whether it's worth the cost in money or time, but it does have value.

Wow u have so many certs I have 0 and I’m in that role

Yep, certs don't really mean all that much, but they can help with getting selected for interviews.

It will help you get past automated scanners and recruiters with s good cv

Also be prepared that if you passed cissp they will expect you to be able to show knowledge and insite at or above that level.

its amazing how many people have a lot of certs but cant apply it or dont understand the core concepts (they just focused passing the exam rather than mastery)

Imo if you have CISM and CISA there is limited benefit to CISSP. If your looking at TPM something in Product management or agile delivery would round your CV more.

A huge part of TPm is delivery and being able to work between product and delivery teams.

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!
