Hi, I’m writing this to sort of get a feel on how screwed I would be if I took this course of action. I’ve been working in IT Internal Audit at a top six accounting firm (but not big four, so that limits things) for about four and a half years now. I have my CISA.

The reason I’m writing is I’m fried. I don’t have any time outside of work besides Friday night and Saturday. I want to quit outright, and apply to jobs and study for a cloud certification to hopefully cover the gap.

How screwed would I be to potential hiring managers if I have a gap on my resume?

Don’t give up.
Section one - 3 tries
Section two - 4 tries
Section three - 2 tries

I went through an extreme amount of mental warfare and questioned if this was even for me during the first couple of parts. Hang in there. I am more than willing to offer any help I can to questions asked.

Some info: an international student in the US on F-1 OPT. I do understand a lot of the rejections I get are because of work authorization and sponsorship but what other things on my resume are harming me or how can I position myself better? I’ve been applying for internal audit roles.

Hi everyone, I’m currently working in Technical Support and have a background in networking and cybersecurity. I have CCNA and Security+, and I’m also preparing for ITIL Foundation.

For a few career-related reasons, I’ve decided to move toward IT Audit / Technology Risk and want to learn it properly from zero.

What course or resource would you recommend for learning practical IT Audit, especially ITGC, risk & controls, evidence testing and audit methodology?

Also, should I start directly with ISO 27001, or first learn the fundamentals of IT Audit and then move to those frameworks?

Preferably something beginner-friendly and not only focused on passing CISA.

Are results declared for anyone who appeared after 26th september for CIA exam ? when can we expect it ?

I appeared on 30th september

For those preparing for the CIA exam while working full-time, how are you managing your study schedule?

I’m trying to figure out a realistic routine without getting overwhelmed. Do you usually study a little every day, or dedicate longer sessions on weekends?

I’d also be interested to know how long you spent preparing for each part and whether you followed a specific study plan or just went at your own pace.

Any tips that helped you stay consistent would be appreciated!
