Finishing up my masters in Cybersecurity. Fortunate to have the opportunity to work for either a Fintech company or a Health Informatics company (both companies are leaders in their respective spaces). Which sector (Fintech vs. Health Informatics) would you advise pursuing? And why? Pay offer for both is the same.

It totally depends on your career goals, OP. You should also consider the career path that you want to take. I'd personally go for Fintech for better career opportunities.

Still fuzzy on what where I ultimately want to end up, other than knowing it’s within the cyber domain. Can you give some examples of some of the “better” career opportunities you see in FinTech, as opposed to Health (I’m still fairly green to all this, so any example/detail would truly be helpful). Thanks in advance!

Those paths while similar in activities are wildly different in possible projects, with some crossover exists between them it really just depends on what you're passionate about! You'll make a good choice 😁

Can you expound (perhaps give an example, if you don’t mind) of the different cyber projects in Fintech as compared to Health Informatics? This way I have a better understanding of the differences. Thanks in advance!

That really depends on your interest. What are you after? What do you aim to be after several years?

Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa.
After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).

Queries:
1. Is this normal or rare case, reducing the offer amount from what quoted initially?
2. Should I accept or negotiate?

I don't have any other offer as of now.
