Hi All, I took the CISSP Exam just under 2 weeks ago and passed and I received endorsement from one of the two members of my team. I immediately applied for full membership but it was rejected. I have been working with/within IT Security and Cyber teams since September 2022 and I took the exams at the end of November 2025, presumably 5 years after. Each job role has worked in at least 3 of the 8 domains, sometimes 5 - as BAU. My only guess is that there were approximately 3 months in that period when I was changing jobs and maybe a month in between jobs and thus I may not have had 5 consecutive years? What do I do? Do I wait a few more months and re-apply? or do I apply to be an Associate instead? My current role as a Senior Security Specialist within a Cyber Team has been since November 2023.
