hustla: Ease of getting jobs - There is shortage of these skills, for example, set up a job notification on LinkedIn with some of the certifications I mentioned earlier, try locations like (Nigeria, Canada, UK and US), you will be shocked as to the amount of job notifications which you will receive daily. The shortage is hitting Nigeria and UK more, due to Canada migration and Brexit respectively. Search and network with those who have these skills on LinkedIn, their frequent posts & conversations will enlighten you more. Positioning for Big4 jobs - It requires a lot of hard work and constant research, you need to realize that the career switch will not be a "walk in the park". Considering that you do not have prior experience, you need to start with earning the certifications which gives you a background knowledge about the career you intend to switch to. For example, I will recommend CISSP or CISM exams for entry into information security. After passing one or more certifications, include them in your CV and start applying for related roles. You might need to modify your CV to include the responsibilities set in the job advert (but ensure you have a fair knowledge of them). Big4 will give you the best of training/experience especially if you can get in at an associate level, however, there are loads of smaller consulting firms/companies that will give you the chance to "kick start" your career switch with little or no experience. Getting certified in ISO courses - ISO certifications are usually sponsored by corporate organizations due to the cost(training facilitators will require a certain quorum in class), and it's mostly bundled with the company's certification projects (usually a 3yr cycle). In Nigeria, you can check PECB accredited centres and other training institutes like Rhythex Consulting at Ilupeju, A.J Silicon at Alausa Ikeja. In my opinion, getting ISO certification is not a good entry point, I believe the scope is limited. In the end, your determination to succeed matters a lot. A friend of mine who has a social science degree is doing well in an IT security risk/compliance role in a Global Bank in the U.K. Cheers. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

@bolded, CISSP and CISM are not entry level certification. You can't use CISSP and CISM until you have been endorsed. To be endorsed, you will need to pass the exam and also have minimum of 4 year work experience and required academic qualification/certification. OSCARTM: |

dupyshoo: Yes you can't use the badge, but passing the exam is sufficient for you to get an information security job. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by dupyshoo: 5:59pm On Nov 11, 2021 |
Security+ is also sufficient to get information security job. So why go for something you are not allowed to use. OSCARTM: |

beryour: That's for cyber security. The guide I gave is for Information Security, cyber security is a subset of information security. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by OSCARTM: 6:18pm On Nov 11, 2021 |
dupyshoo: CISM/CISSP exam notification results will get you an information security job interview easily, and the experience on the job will help with the requirements to obtain the badge/certification. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by dupyshoo: 6:34pm On Nov 11, 2021 |
So security+ is only relevant to cybersecurity? OSCARTM: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by dupyshoo: 6:44pm On Nov 11, 2021 |
There is no guarantee that it will get you an information security job. I have sat on interview panels which candidates with CISSP did not pass and people without made it. You need to answer the questions in interview before passing. In fact, because CISSP is so wide, you might not remember most of the things in the book after passing. Have you attended any interview and they are asking for bell la biba or la padula? The fact that you have CISSP will raise the expectation of the interviewers that if you don't meet up, you will likely not be taken. A lot of people do not have CISSP and they are earning a lot. So I believe that CISSP is overkill for someone looking for entry level information security role. OSCARTM: |

Why didn’t anyone warn me that there is no stroller access at the Nigerian embassy . Omo we carried our stroller over the stairs o with the assistance of the guy at the entry point sha. We spent roughly two hours and there were loads of people but the members of staff worked really fast. Bittersweet experience but I’m glad it’s over and done with. 3 Likes |

OSCARTM: Thanks a lot! May God make your days long! I do have some experience in Cloud Computing & reasonable Identity and Access Management knowledge - hopefully that would count For the smaller consulting firms, is there any where i can look them up or a Google search would suffice for a list?

hustla: When I got CISSP, I was able to waive one year off because I had Security+ earlier. Learning CISSP will take it's toll on you but doable!. To your question, if you pass the exam before you have the requisite experience, you are allowed to use Associate of ISC2 but not the full CISSP designation. |
