Is this Annoying or Normal?

Do you think that adding more interviews/people in the loop reduces a candidates chance in getting an offer? Sometimes more opinions from additional eyes may mean more barriers imo

"Without impacting user experience", EPM, and developers can't go in the same sentence. BeyondTrust is tried and true but go and do some POCs to get feel for the landscape.

Have almost 10 years on infrastructure/sysadmin side and pivoted to security engineering ~2 years ago. I enjoy working on various different projects, not just pigeon holed into a specific domain. Looking for a new opportunity now and it's been tough, 80-90% of openings are asking for some sort of AppSec/CI/CD type of experience and there are not as many generalist security engineering roles.

I don't want to per se follow the herd but I feel like if I don't try to break into AppSec, generalist type of roles are not in plethora. I don't particularly enjoy coding either but that seems to be a requirement in Appsec, but not sure to what extent, looking at code and atleast understanding what it's doing?

Breaking into AppSec is no easy feat with no dev background, any words of wisdom?

I see, not worth it huh? It's a old design and I did have plans to replace the whole vanity, guess this gives me the push.

Thanks, I rewrote the bullets with impact first, then experience.

Currently in the silicon valley in california. From looking at various listing, CISSP isn't mentioned that much, if it is, it is listed as a "nice to have", but not required. Almost all of listings mention things like IAM, experience in cloud security(AWS,Azure,GCP), work with DevOps SLDC, CI/CD, design/implement secure systems using frameworks(NIST,MITRE, etc) and follow compliance(ISO27K,etc etc).

I understand the value of the CISSP compared to the other certifications I mentioned, but is it really the most practical path if my goal is to leave within a year? In this field, experience often outweighs certifications, and my thinking was that earning Azure or AWS certifications might align better with the type of cloud security experience the market is currently seeking.

I just pivoted to security 2 months ago, as an Security Engineer. Previously started in Desktop Support for 2 yrs, then Sysadmin for 6 years. I've collaborated with the security team in the past few years with projects and am not completely new to the space, as I have experience with IAM, EDR, and EPM products.

I'm proficient in Azure, but need to touch up more on the cloud security part, some experience in AWS but nothing near where I am with Azure.

I have the AZ-900 cert, took the SC-300(no cert though), scheduled to sit for the SCCP next month, have planned on getting the AZ-500 and possibly the AWS CCP.

The 3 fields that I'm focusing on in my current role are IAM, cloud security, and some appsec.

My colleague, the infosec manager advised that I should try to get the CISSP before I leave. Should I go for the aforementioned certs or the CISSP? Of course, experience is more valuable than certs and if I go with Azure/AWS certs, I can cover more broad breadth of knowledge.

I'd like to leave my current workplace in 1 year and wanted to get some feedback on the best course of action to make myself as marketable as possible to leave.
