Good morning. How much should I accept for an Information Systems Security Analyst role? I’m currently making $75K with 2 YOE. What’s a competitive salary? I want to move to another company. Any good company suggestions? I’m still on the market. Thanks!

Come on over to Mandiant FireEye. With 2 YOE, you can apply for an Associate Consultant or Consultant role. Associate might be close to $100k TC but consultants definitely are somewhere in that $120k range. I came in as a senior consultant with a $160k base, $24k annual bonus and another $20k+ in annual RSUs. I live in an extremely LCOL area and I'm 100% remote. Can't beat it. Certs, maybe a security+ or OSCP but you've gotta be able to demonstrate your skills in IR or Offensive Security.

Lonely? How so?

120k <2 years out. Are you in a LCOL city? Consulting is probably your best bet if you hop companies

Depends, what areas of cyber are you working in currently? If cloud, pursue AWS or other cloud provider certificates. If you have those then focus on the CISSP.

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!
