Which was easier CISA OR PMP? Debating on which I want to pursue first.

CISA was really easy. I think I studied 10 hours total for it, solely using the question bank on the ISACA site.

When in doubt with the questions, it seemed like the correct answer was the most risk averse option (e.g., discuss / analyze a proposed approach vs implementing something).

Hi! I’m currently studying for the CISA and am super anxious about it. Do you think the QAE questions are the same level of difficulty that is seen on the actual exam? Also are the QAE concepts all pretty much the same? Was there any topics on the exam that you didn’t really see in the QAE?

Why are you going for a PMP? Agile is the way.

Company offers a bonus/bootcamp for passing. I think it’s a good cert to have.

Hello Sharks,

Can you please help me decide for the profile of senior software engineer between:

2. Virtusa - 25lpa Fixed (Intuit client)

YOE : 5
Tech Stack: Python
I am a bit biased towards joining CGI but on the other side, Virtusa is offering more.
My preference would be good WLB & Job security.

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.

Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
