Looking for some feedback.

Currently maintain 4 SANS certifications. Was 5 but one was retired.

Been out of technical side of things for 10 years or so. Still dabble. Love playing. Tryhackme. INE. Homelabbing. That sort of thing.

Now doing consulting. vCISO work. Love it.

Questions I'm thinking about ...

Do I keep maintaining these certs?

Do I move to certs like CRISC, CISM, etc ?

Or is the whole certification path just a waste and would I better to learn more on my own and forget certifications?

Im in my mid 50s so definitely need to prioritize my path forward.

Thoughts?

@mrclark Been wondering this myself lately as I have some SANS certs and CISSP to renew. I feel like certs carry less weight lately and honestly I have so many to refresh... Certainly knowledge/learning trumps having the active letters but for certain fields (i.e. government) or clearing resume screens having the letters can still be helpful.
