What did you do after CISSP?

It's been two weeks since I passed the exam. I've bounced around wondering what's next. I thought about CISA since the other folks in my department have it, but I'm not an auditor. I am patiently awaiting my GPEN SANS course. In the mean time, I wanted to do something self study, but I want to get some value out of it. C|EH is out because of EC council's shortcomings. I have thought about the CASP since it's more technical, but it seems like a step back. My goal is to pickup a broad skill set while doing vuln mgmt. I thought about doing the CCNA-Security or the Linux+ just to pass the time. What did you guys do as your next step? Were you satisfied with the result?

After I did my CISSP, I knocked out the ITIL F, then went to technical certs and did CEH>CHFI>GSEC>GCIA.

I haven't done anything since CISSP except get into law school. So now I'm doing that.

I'm selling my lab tonight. Two servers and a stack of networking gear. I'll miss the fun but I'll like reclaiming my study.

I had to gauge whether you were a Cat or Cardinal fan.

I started getting more technical certs after my CISSP. They are a lot easier to test for in my opinion because the answers are very direct and not so "dynamic" like the CISSP was. It really helps with additional foundation for different topics and it also supplies a wealth of CEU's to keep your CISSP up to date. I am currently 40 CEU's over my 3 year requirement by accident.

Self study at 30Hrs a pop is pretty nice. 2 certs a year and you are golden.
