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

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
