Working on getting CISSP right now; would love to hear any recommendations for study materials if anyone would be willing to share.

I've read the book, have the official prep questions, and about 7 YOE in cybersec but honestly had CCNA and Sec+ in the past and found passing to be more relative to how I'd studied to the test than doing the actual job...

Anyway, open and appreciative of any insight.

Note: Yes I'm in in marketing - career pivot.

Hello Partners, I’m currently a SC at D and started my career here - but went to a third tier MBA school. I have received top ratings throughout my career thus far and it’s my ambition to make it to partner one day. Will the lack of a prestigious MBA deter me ? Or will someone who went to a top 10 college have a leg up? Would like to hear your thoughts, thanks in advance!
