Depends on your skills and exp. GRC, Infosec professionals have to understand the infrastructure and process of the company which includes a lot of stuff from technical to governance. Initially they may be earning less than developers, but as they experience and get to the process of different industries, they get paid alot.

Nope

why?

Yes

yes for grc

GRC is paid peanuts as compared to software developers.
Might be paid well in Big fours,but only for director and above levels.

I would agree. I am into GRC

Lol not at all

It's least technical, so salaries are not as same as highly technical people

GRC and developers are different domain. Do don't compare them. But if you take GRC in cyber security, you can easily grow up the ladder to become the managerial level on passing few high level certifications.
