I have a thing for courageous dongles

experience is king but CISSP is quickly becoming a standard requirement for even entry level security analyst positions or your resume goes in the trash

their "vouching" system for getting accredited after the test along with not letting you see anything more than pass/fail has done a bit to slow its descent in to diploma mill worthlessness but the 2015 revisions of the test gutted most of the technical knowledge so its getting easier to game as a conceptless cram session of corporate buzzwords with a little bit of Best Practice thrown in. It will be as laughable as A/Network+ in a few years and then they'll move on to the next arbitrary test that you have to pass.

Regardless, congrats. That's a lot of bullshit to jam in your head.
