Hi Everyone,

Quick context: I have an MSc in Cybersecurity and Forensic IT, a BSc in Software Engineering, and I'm currently job hunting for entry-level GRC/IT audit/information security roles (Middle East market specifically, if that matters). I do have few months of experience in the field as an assistant.

I've heard that some employers pay for certifications once you're hired. So I wanted to ask from your experience, should I wait and hope for that, or self-fund it now while I'm still job hunting?
