I know CISSP and i don't think studying for the certificate will give me the skills needed to be a good security researcher

Possessing that certificate is an entry requirement for many security jobs. But from what you are saying you have already conducted your research.

I know many people in the security industry who are willing to waive the CISSP requirement if you have a CVE on your resume.

Oh that sounds interesting, haven't come accross myself - thanks!

They don't advertise this fact too much. CISSPs are a joke.

That was my thought too , i don't think CISSP has big weight in this industry .

But not the good ones.

The good ones may look askance at it and wonder whatever motivated you to get one.
