My experience is in risk and controls but not a ton of IT controls. Will this work for experience or no?

It should. Now you just need to learn it and learn to answer it the way ISACA wants you to hehe

I just bought the isaca manual and did test prep questions on the isaca website.

Can I have your login if you aren’t using it? Please

Would just studying for the CISA exam adequately prepare you for auditing IS and IT controls, or would one really need a degree for it too? Trying to see if it would be beneficial or not.

The CISA will help, but tbh nothing you read will ever truly prepare you for real world “work”. Regardless of how many degrees or certifications you have, be prepared to know nothing when you start. Not trying to sound negative, I just see a lot of people coming in with unrealistic expectations of what a certification/degree actually does.

Question for those in "tech" cities. I am in Northern VA and view this area as a potential tech destination of the future as FAANG moves towards servicing the federal govt (see HQ2). Is there much of a premium in terms of pay for the accountants in the current tech cities? Is a career in FAANG as an accountant better than public accounting if you never expect to make partner? There already seems to be a severe shortage of talent here in NoVa so I'm wondering what to expect 3-5 years out.
