in CISM
Im looking to take the CISA next on my list of certifications for this year. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on study material that I should look into.

    Congrates on passing CISSP.

    I think it would be wise to take CISM first rather than CISA depending on your experience.
    I'm planning to take CISA after CISM.

    I am thinking to take on CISA. Should I take CISSP first? what is your opinion guys?
    also, dont have any IS Auditor experience. Planning to take the exam for career change. Is it possible to get certified without experience?
    I am in the field for last 15 years. mainly s/w development and IT. Please let me know what is your opinion/thoughts.

    Why do you think it's better to take the CISM first?

    From what I have been told, the CISM has more overlap with CISSP. So CISM would be wise because some of the material will be familiar. I was hoping to take CISM, but I don't meet the three years of management requirement to be certified.

    Ah, ok, that makes sense. I wouldn't have the mgmt background either. I think my technical skills will help with the CISA, though.
