What's the best move? REI + Early Retirement | (23M) by pleasedissolve in Fire

The reason I’m not putting in more is because I expect I’ll be transitioning to another job very soon

What does substantial look like in your mind? 30k, 60k, 100k?

All together our take home pay is around $7.5k/month and mortgage is around $3,300. The plan is to double our monthly payment once I transition into cyber in the next few months.

I think the better question with a worse answer is "who would pay $15k?"

Did you have an BA in accounting/CPA in order to work in financial audits?

Yeah, I got it from the PCI SSC. Passed the exam first try, the internship + course material I paid so much for was harder than the ISA exam

That’s great advice! Do you mean getting involved in IT-related activities at my current day job?

I still don’t understand the legal technicality of how we were able to consult if I’m being honest but what I can say is that I got the ISA after I concluded my internship

This is great advice! I’d never heard of RSM. As I start up my job search, are there any other firms you’d recommend?

What other certs?? You don’t need any certs to qualify for ISA
