By telling them you have offers already and be prepared to walk away

I am sure the HR dun know the value of those certification and just copy n paste all the preferred cert onto the JD itself

You are doing risk right? Actually is quite common that risk ppl to have cissp with isaca cism, crisc and cisa plus some vendor cloud cert.

not really specific to risk only, I can do programming, scripting, architect, virtualization, cloud security.

nowadays with 1 skillset will not survive

the company has no reason to change their hr policy for you. if you think they are not compensating you fairly then tell them bye bye

yea guess i wont try to argue with them, I have more compelling offer coming.
bigger tech coy didnt even ask for my last drawn only ask for my credential and proof of employment.
guess the startup mindset still kicks in

if you want more then should try those startup or ang mo company

What special of CISSP & CISM?

I saw a lot manager have but don’t have technical skill at all.

Difficult EXAM but it common now especially during covid where a lot of ppl wfh and have spare time to study.

Cism and cissp is actually common in a lot of senior or risk department.

Technical skill will not get you far in career.
I am looking for lesser hands-on dirty work to progress.
