Friends,I’m feeling down after submitting 300+ applications with little to no response.

looking job switch in cybersecurity domain, With 4 years of SOC Analyst / Engineer experience and certifications such as SC-200 and AZ-500, I believe I have a strong profile.

Yet, despite good interviews, I often face rejections or no updates from HR.

Could anyone share insights on how to achieve salary growth from around currently 10 LPA to 20+ LPA in Cyber Security Operations with 4 years of experience?

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

Hi guys, I am due to start working at EY soon within audit.

I will be commuting to the office by train when in the Birmingham office. This will be from Leicester.

Usually if a commute is about 1.5 hours+, Mazars authorises hotels. Is there a similar policy at EY?

When not in the office I would prefer to drive to clients, not sure if me being in Leicester affects whether they will tell me to suck up an extended commute? Would a mileage claim be from the office to the client?

Thanks!
