Dear Clement and others,

First of all this is a great way to reach out to the industry. Thanks a lot
for everyone who has put efforts to give suggestions. Yes a Virtual stuy
group sounds good and i also have a quick question to ask. I am really
interested in doing CISSP but as Clement and others mention time and again i
have just one years of Information security exprience and i hold a Masters
(MSC) in Security. I guess i would have to be an associate till i get my
experience.

My question is what are my chances in the job market if i finish my CISSP ?
im presently in a high pressure SLA  based job role and hardly get time to
study.. i work long hours. Luckily im going to be free for another 2 months
time. Shoud i finish CISSP and get into job role and will companies still
push me for more certs like cisco, checkpoint or how does it work?

I know its a lot of questions.. but i thank everyone in advance. BTW i will
be looking for exams in south India like chennai, bangalore.. Thanks.
