Reddit reviews CISSP Study Guide

I would pick up a CISSP book and start studying. With your background it should not be too difficult to pass the CISSP. That way you can at least mention you are working towards it in an interview.

I used the older version of this book and found it very useful.

Ah, yes. Those aren't the same. This is the most updated, recent official exam book that includes the practice exams:

The book comes with questions as well, but not very good ones in relation to the exam. It also has online flashcards. The practice exam book can be activated online, and all questions are available online. That book has everything that is covered in the test.

The other book I used was this one, but more straight to the point, but doesn't cover every single detail like the Sybex:

Cool! That's a good one. Also really thought this was good.

I passed my exam with help from the CISSP Mentor Program and following along with their talks with the Eric Conrad study guide.
