If you are looking to join as a senior/ management level then no.

normally there 2 path.

1st is tech path where you have a lot of cert or have alot of github development or HTB/ bug bounty kind exp.

2nd is smoke path where you have nothing much but can talk very well. this type of ppl will do in SI kind of cyber company

No matter what, in cyber you can only see this 2 path...

Yes agree with this.

A lot of Sales/management have CISSP but not even know how to solve simple stuff.

Sure have some value.

To a seasoned professional it’s crappy but nonetheless a good foundation cert for newbie.

Well to me CISSP is equally crappy too. OffSec certs FTW hehe

Then get both?

Very hard meh?

Know technical stuff only is useless. Most of the time, these people cannot convey or express themselves properly and so most people including management dont know what they are talking about. The world talks money. In the business world, knowing how money flows and how business works is more important. A business will not survive just because you have one or two technical people
