Post-CISA: CRISC or CISM? (And CIA imposter syndrome)

Hi everyone,

I’m CISA certified and trying to figure out my next move. I currently work in IT audit, split between 2 years of external statutory IT audit and 2 years of internal tech heavy IT audit.

I want to take something that is actually doable and fun. I’m heavily considering CRISC or CISM.

Also, a couple of dilemmas:

  1. I’m holding off on the AAIA (Advanced in AI Audit) for now because it’s pretty new and I see mixed reviews online.

  2. I’m incredibly nervous about the CIA (Certified Internal Auditor). I’m a core tech guy at heart, and I’m terrified I’ll fail the non-tech, accounting-heavy audit stuff. Plus, the exam costs are way too high to just "wing it." If I fail, I’ll be devastated lol.

Given a pure tech/IT audit background, is the CIA even worth the stress right now? Or should I just stick to the CRISC/CISM track?

Would love some thoughts, advice, or motivation!

Car Rentals: 1-2 months, suggestions?

Hey everyone,

I’m in a bit of a limbo with my current car situation and need a car for the next month or two while I get it sorted out.

I’m looking for recommendations on where to get the best deals for a long-term (1-2 month) rental. I don't need anything fancy, just something reliable and decent that won't break the bank.

Are traditional rental companies (Hertz, Enterprise, etc.) worth it if you call and ask for monthly rates, or should I be looking at stuff like Turo or car subscription services?

Any hidden gems or tips to get the price down would be amazing. Thanks in advance!
