The number will always change. When I was making $100k, $150k was it. When I was at $150k, $200k was the number.

I’m at $300k now and things are good but life with kids and daycare and etc really do take a chunk out so now the number is $400k.

$500k. That would be 70% of the profit margin I bring in off my total managed revenue, let’s the company keep 30%. Feels fair to me

Also with the caveat that I get a raise each year of inflation + a few percent depending on performance

I would like to be paid what my skills and experience bring rather than someone saying your jot worth it as you dont have cissp - i know i dont think its a good benchmark anymore as people study to pass the exam and fog the experience rather than being good at any one the aspects eg cissp people having no clue about risk management outside of the text book
