The LHC recently completed an expectation exceeding run, accumulating 5/fb apiece for ATLAS and CMS. With this large dataset in hand we are transitioning from "simple" cut & count searches for early new physics to more subtle and challenging signatures. I will summarize recent CMS SUSY results, especially concentrating on results from the full 5/fb 2011 dataset. As we now begin the 2012 run in earnest, I will also discuss where we're headed, with some emphasis on what to expect from the photon based SUSY searches.
