IS CISSP worth it to you.
I was reading a old article linked below. Short story the author and a lot of people commenting are bashing CISSP as a Cert. I have always seen CISSP as a upper level cert with more of management feel to it. I passed It last month a rough 3 hours for me lol. I have 6 years experience in IT Various roles. Some of the… -

Does getting your CISSP provide a good return on investment? Short answer is yes. It makes your resume or LinkedIn profile pop up when a job recruiter does a search for CISSP in your geographic area on Linkedin and job boards.

Re: IS CISSP worth it to you.
for most infosec job roles now CISSP is the only required cert to have anything else is just nice to have. When i didn't have CISSP and was seeking employment i would be lucky if i received 1 call per day. the moment i became certified i would get round 24 calls per day. so cissp is worth having. people who bash the cert… -
Re: IS CISSP worth it to you.
I think it's valuable for a couple of reasons: 1. You have to sign a code of ethics and agree to abide by white-hat rules. 2. It's an advanced test to study for and pass (this is a good experience). 3. A lot of great technical infoSec folks don't understand the management side of things which CISSP gives you. CISSP's are… -
Re: IS CISSP worth it to you.
Over the many years of being in the industry you'll see many posts like these and for the most part - for good reason.

Anything that gives you a pay increase of 20k, is worth it to me. It might not be worth it to others, but everyone has their standards.

Re: IS CISSP worth it to you.
It's worth it to me for a few reasons. 1 - 99% of the people I know who took it said it was a tough test they're glad they prepared for. If it's a tough test for 99% of people (from my admittedly small sample), then I can't see how it's worthless in terms of testing your knowledge. 2 - CISSP is well recognized in the HR… -
Re: IS CISSP worth it to you.
Here's why CISSP is of value to me: - It exposed me to some Infosec areas that I never touched before - It helped me understand the synergy between domains - HR loves it. Many employers either recommend it or REQUIRE it. By having this cert my universe of possibilities expands exponentially. I find this particularly… -
Re: IS CISSP worth it to you.
I would say it's worth it for me as well....but I have only had it since Feb of this Year...passed the test, November of 2015. I have been in the IT realm since the early 80's...yes...Sperry Univac systems. I have worn many hats in the IT world, and even owned a PC store in Michigan, Mega-Bite Computers in the Upper…
