I think IT audit seems to be a big one really, not sure what the other exit opps are

With a CPA, you could always switch to the financial side.

Exited from IT Audit SM2 at big 4 to Senior Manager cyber GRC. Making 250k in LCOL. Was making 178k at big 4. CISA, CISSP. Tons of soc 2, ISO 27k1, NIST CSF experience. If you are stuck doing external SOX audits, try to get yourself some experience on cyber compliance type projects.

I'm planning to take a CPA this quarter. How about you?

IT audit seems to be the best option for you. There are really a lot of choices to choose from.

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
