Linda here.  I have 25+ years in IT and narrowing down a broad skillset into a cybersecurity and project management mix. Hope everyone is doing well!  :-)

G'day Linda and welcome to Tech Exams!

Are you planning on doing any certifications? What are your career goals?

If not, then we must ban her 

Welcome Linda!

Thank you UnixGuy. Yes, I plan on completing my current courses of Security+ (mostly a review) and CYSA+ then CISSP. The plan is to get at least the CISSP, and possibly the CYSA+ too, as I hear it's more technical and the CISSP is more "business application". Unless I misunderstood.

I have my CAPM, but am working to hopefully write my PMI-ACP (Project Management -- Agile Certified Professional) in the spring and eventually my PMP. 

It all keeps me out of trouble.  Oh, btw, E Double U, did I pass?  :-)

UnixGuy

Those are awesome certs to have, they definitely have a massive return on investment! Good luck

Thank you UnixGuy, good to hear, I had occasionally wondered if I'm on the right track. I was sidelined a couple of years ago by a less than beneficial takeover and the skillset went a tad stale on paper while dealing with it, that made it harder to jump.  I have been volunteering and helping friends to keep my hands-on experience up.  Ah, just might work yet! 

People keep telling me "It's a journey", but can I have a faster car? :-)

UnixGuy

To earn all those certs and the experience/knowledge that come with them, it sure is a journey! I sometimes forget the blood/sweat/tears that it took to earn the certs that I have but it is definitely been a journey

you will do well, there is a shortage of skilled people so it's a great time to be in the industry

I noticed you are into some pretty serious certs, good luck with the MBA. :-)

UnixGuy

Thanks!I should remove the MBA as it's definitely not in progress and i have no intention of continuing it
