:- PCI is cool, I don't come across it as often as I thought. Choose your certification carefully, some of them are linked directly to your current role. Make sure whatever you get doesn't require you to be working for an ASV.
- ISO 27001 is VERY popular with international companies. I got a few companies certified (I'm in Canada)
