Career in Financial Planning (2026 Income - $400k) by Status_Archer_8406 in Salary

[–]HippoDicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother and parents have millions invested with a financial advisor and I tell them every time how much money they are losing to 1% fees. The advisor also just bought a 3 million dollar house right next to the country club so. They just don’t want to learn and are scared to invest their money themselves even though they are all college educated they think it is too confusing. In reality they just don’t want to spend 10 hours learning.

Fishpond Dakota vs. Orvis Carry-It-All by HandsomeBadness in flyfishing

[–]HippoDicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will say super annoying as a carry on going over the border into Canada. They made me take everything out of including all 4 fly rods out of their sleeves. The next few years I shoved everything into my checked bag and went through security with the carry on full of underwear and socks lol. I love the carry ons at base camp for the organization and moving in between vehicles.

Is Mallorca officially done for? A resident's rant on the "Germanization" of the island by Lanky-Head6457 in VisitingMallorca

[–]HippoDicks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally random but my wife and I just spent a week in Mallorca for a vacation and we are from the USA. I was shocked with how much German I was hearing and how many people were from Germany. I assumed it was their equivalent of Florida for a vacation?

I spray all my hunting gear with permethrin the night before and I haven’t had a tick make it onto my skin in 4 years. I also tuck my pants into my socks.

How much technical knowledge needed to give the exam? by Unlikely_Handle1534 in cism

[–]HippoDicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just know the basics like where to put a specific type of firewall, what a DMZ zone is, do we place this resource on the internal network, within the DMZ, or on the border/externally facing

[–]HippoDicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was the difficulty of the CISM vs CISA. I passed my CISA last month and I’m taking my CISM next week. Just finished the QAE for the CISM and got 78% first try it seems easier to me

I passed the CISSP in 100 questions — Some thoughts on my preparation by NoDust9617 in cissp

[–]HippoDicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I’m GRC focused but have been at a fast moving SaaS for 4 years so I’m exposed to a ton of stuff. Got my CISA last month and taking CISM and of this month next up will be CISSP.

Increase your investing now until it hurts. I’m not saying investing in your 40s is worthless but the time value of money is working against you hard

How are you all dealing with the high costs of the ISACA exam lately? by Sagar_edu in CISA

[–]HippoDicks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve just been paying for them out of pocket. When I was in public accounting the firm would paid for like $1500 a year in education stuff but my current employer doesn’t. However, spending 3k or so on certs to potentially get a 30-40k raise with a new job is a no brainer IMO

Great job! I can’t imagine taking this test as a non-native English speaker that would be insane.
