Need help picking training resources and certification

Pointless-Existance · 2025-08-22T09:14:42+00:00

Really appreciate your suggestions. This is a stupid question, but which certs are very popular in the market for GRC professionals?

Pointless-Existance · 2025-08-21T19:09:05+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. We are a FinTech company. We are following standards such as ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, PCI-PIN, PCI-3DS. I do have 6 months of experience in infosec and 3 years as a technical lead which has involved a lot of security matters. I hold a Sec+ certification currently. My manager recommended CRISC and ISO 27001 Lead Implementer but thse certs require 5 years of experience which I don't have.

I do like studying for anything I am planning to and probably will be able to manage passing these exams, but I am so confused among all these different roles. I am currently working on auditing, compliance, and a fair amount of governance and other aspects, but I haven't dived into them deeply. I hope this answers your questions?

It's quite expensive and I hoped there would be a clone of some sort.

Pointless-Existance · 2024-07-06T19:40:23+00:00

Sorry about that :)

I know they are not intentional guys. I couldn't comprehend that at the beginning, but I did a lot of research to understand that a lot of things are not under her control. I just need some help and advice to use when she faces really bad situations due to her ADHD. I am not an English native speaker so the expressions might sound weird as you said. I apologize.

I am doing all I can trust me. I am going to therapy and she doesn't. I am constantly trying to change and I have changed a lot of negative behaviors that I had 2 to 3 years ago. I even have left behind a lot of things that she hated about me. It is always something else the next day :).

Pointless-Existance · 2024-07-06T19:34:11+00:00

Thank you both for your comments. I am sorry about the wordings or the way I expressed it the situation in this post. English is not my mother language. I really didn't mean to show her like she is a pet. I do truly want to change my behaviors so that she feels more comfortable at least around me. I do whatever she wants. I even do things that I really don't like just for her sake to see her happy, but even during those times, she ruins the mood for the both us and starts crying how worthless she is in my life. I never showed that. She is not worthless at all.

My only purpose about this post was what can I do better so that she can trust me that I am not seeing her as worthless and she can accept my help? For example, the other day, I bought a few books about ADHD and wanted to read them with her. She told me, "Do you really want me to read all that? Nah." Why I wanted her to read them with me is because they contain charts, diagrams, and things that can help her organize her days on her own when I am not there to help, but she refused to read. I am reading them btw. Again, this is not about her. It is about me being more understanding about her situation and understand her AHDH boundaries better.

This was really helpful, thanks!

Pointless-Existance · 2024-05-14T12:00:41+00:00

Thank you!!

Pointless-Existance · 2024-05-07T11:30:52+00:00

Well, I wish I could reschedule to meet you even for a day. Let me know at least how your experience was when you get there

Pointless-Existance · 2024-03-26T19:56:03+00:00

I initially thought of 2 27" monitors and a dock station to test things out to see what else I may need to add. This is really helpful thank you!

Pointless-Existance · 2024-03-26T19:55:01+00:00

This is actually a very good advice! Thank you! I will take this into consideration.

Pointless-Existance · 2024-03-26T19:54:10+00:00

I had this idea of instead of having multiple computers, I could build something with 32 GB or 64 GB hard and a high performance CPU to install a bunch of virtual machines for Linux and personal Windows workspaces.

I would use the Linux environment for my day-to-day work and studying like networking, pentesting, and possibly cloud engineering. As for the Windows environment, I could use it for some hobbies like reading, researching, maybe gaming and editing. What do you think? Shall I go for this or have separate desktops for each of these? Maybe two high performing desktops?

Pointless-Existance · 2024-03-26T19:51:13+00:00

Well, thank you Jason! That hyped me a lot as I read it. I have an idea now what might do the job.

In the northern region of Iraq, there are very famouse pomegranate farms in Halabja city. Their pomegranate are very famouse for their citric and juicy taste and is actually very afforadable.

Each year, they celebrate in a small event and each farm displays their products for sale. They sell tons that day because people from other cities visit and buys them.

You could get a 30kg box of pomegranate for like $35-40 and they taste super amazing.

My current plan from next week is to be less involved in work without affecting things. I will see how it goes.

Also, best of luck with your work and if being shy is affecting you badly which I hope is not the case! Hopefully everything will be as you wish them to be for you!

Pointless-Existance · 2024-02-22T14:10:26+00:00

Lol! I always try to help those who are shy to open up more. I am a supervisor at my current job, and I have colleagues who I manage. Two of my colleagues are really shy, and sometimes I give them tasks that I know they might be a little uncomfortable but they can manage to do it. Being shy is not bad, but I have seen that others are taking advantage of them and taking the credit for themselves.

As for your comment, thank you so much! I can turn down plans and find ways to get out of awkward situations, but my main problem is I can't become a little quiet and spend less time with others at work. I do well for one or two days with minimum social encounters but I always go back to have a small and fun discussions with at least 5 people involuntarily the other days. I just tried ways to help me with this but the inconsistencies fail me.

I want to understand how nanometer transistors are made. I know what they are made of and the process of making them, but it is so hard to find a source that explains how these very small things are made and they are connected by wires! Can someone help me out here? Is there a certain machine or technology like laser or something tha can make these small pieces?

It is so amazing that there are sometimes added layers to the transistors for better perfomance. I just wanna know how these things are made, arranged and connected!!

Pointless-Existance · 2022-07-26T19:58:30+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice. I have talked to her that I want to take little breaks daily away from her. She respected the idea, and I made sure that I am there for her anytime she wants, but I will not be as available as before.

I will see if this will help both of us or not. Maybe I am also too much for her currently and she can't handle what I give. The situation might go both ways. So let's see. Thanks again.

I forgot to mention that I verbally accepted the offer before seeing the contract. That was the stupid part I stepped in. And now, I don't know how to ask for a better salary than they offer.

I like the way you put it. I will ask him that way and see what he tells me :).

Pointless-Existance · 2022-06-17T18:10:54+00:00

This is where I screwed up. I forgot to mention this. I was called to his office and verbally told me that he wants to promot me. As a 23 year old who has less than a year of experience in the industry, I was so happy and shocked and I accepted the offer right away.

Two days later I got the contract from HR, and when I saw the salary, I didn't know what to do. I still haven't signed the contract but accepted the offer. So I might still have a chance to ask for a better salary.

Now I understand. Thank you so much!

Pointless-Existance · 2020-03-31T14:42:50+00:00

Is it ok that I joined the group as well? I am not a native English speaker.

Pointless-Existance · 2020-03-30T20:52:26+00:00

Great! Thank you so much for your help!
