As a Cybersecurity Analyst I make right under 80k in total compensation (62k Salary, 17k Bonus). I have two years of experience, an Associates in Networking and a Sec+ cert, does everyone feel like this is a fair compensation based off my credentials and experience?

It’s not unreasonable given you’re just starting your career.

That said, cybersecurity is and will remain hot. As such your potential future earnings are much higher than your current TC. Focus on getting as much experience and exposure as you can in your current role.

Don’t be impatient, but also don’t be afraid to consider other opportunities that offer more valuable experience, a better growth trajectory, and/or a higher salary than your current role. If you don’t see a quick path to advancement where you are, remain open to the possibility that jumping to a new company may be a major accelerator.

That makes sense, really appreciate the input!

No it’s not reasonable I started at 73.5 in my first position and I think that’s low for what I do. I had no prior experience that was focused analytics. Get 10% bonus each year

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
