Where's a good place to look for entry-level GRC jobs? (self.cybersecurity)

I'm looking to start a career in GRC. Been searching a bunch of different things (e.g. cybersecurity internal audit, GRC analyst, cyber audit, risk analyst, etc.) but everything that's coming up is mid-senior positions, manager positions, etc.

No certs as of current. Trying to figure out if there's even an entry-level pathway available before I dump more money into education. NIST and ISA: are these international certs or America specific? The latter won't help me much unless I get a remote job. As for regulations, that should be easy enough. I'm already good at research, so.

They're America specific, but every region will have similar frameworks. ISO27001 is world wide I believe.

I've actually just done a bit of digging on it and it seems that CISSP is used in Canada, so I might pull the trigger on that. I'm also considering Unixguy's GRC Mastery course. Happen to know anything about it? I don't think it counts as a certification proper, but it might be good to show employers what I'm interested in and that I've already put in some work.

You need five years of experience in cybersecurity, or sponsorship from another CISSP to get certified. NIST and ISO are followed by lots of companies, and ISA-62443 is a big one for OT cyber.

Guess I shoulda done more digging lol. Thanks for the help. Btw, do you know much about PECB's courses? They have some ISO stuff that's GRC specific, might look into it.
