Have 2 job offers 1. is for a entry level role I’m more interested in, it will give me experience in the technical side of cyber, but 2. Is offering more money but it is on the admin side of the things. I’ve already negotiated 1 and the salary cap is 115k and 2 is offering 135k.. any advice?

I'd take the one with more growth opportunity, so the cyber one. Also I would think the technical offer has a higher salary lined up down the line than the admin one as you promote.

Ummm, I think the technical role has more growth potential. And if it’s going to be a bump from your current role, go for it!

Admin has zero security in today’s world. Well, in the consulting world it is the first group to go when times are tough. Zero growth. Cyber- well, now demand for that work will never decrease and the growth opportunities remain pretty broad which is great. Also here the pay grows faster.

Go with the Cyber position, so much more growth and exit opportunities.

How much more interested are you in offer 1? Maybe try to quantify it and it’ll make $20k difference look a lot less. Also try to see it from 5-10 years out. If it gets you to a place you’d rather be that far out then the salary difference isn’t much.

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
