A 50% payout seems to be a large amount unless you are really senior as a manager. I know in my organization the difference would be 10% to 20% unless you are a skip level from an individual contributor.
It would help if you talked actually numbers vs percentages
I get paid $200K+ bonus as a Manager vs. would get paid around $100K as a security engineer or security analyst. I have over a decade of experience, so I’m also an older cyber manager.
Thinking of taking that step down again because I developed serious health issues from the stress. I’m just curious if anyone else has done this type of move successfully without a major pay cut.
I am not sure if you are aware of current cybersecurity role salaries in the market, but there is something wrong with your numbers. IC roles in the US are much higher. Here is an IC role at M&T Bank with the salary range posted. The salary gap between IC and Manager is not 100K. https://mtb.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/MTB/job/Buffalo-NY/Principal-Specialist---Technology-and-Cybersecurity-Risk_R70975?q=Cyber
