D1 - Pure pen testing is a dying field for Big 4 / ACN, the margins are unattractive and smaller shops can do it for way less. It's usually leveraged to try and sell larger transformational work (similar to most assessments).

Genuine curiosity - do you actually user OSCP skills within PWC? Always thought cyber practices were very compliance focused.

Meant that I didn't know Big4 does pen testing. Always thought those were done by smaller shops.

Reposting from HR bowl: I’ve heard there is a hiring boom, especially for L&D roles. I was let go recently from a toxic environment (removed the company from everything) after only 4 days of work.

Any advice for me? I’m also seeking therapy for the trauma & coping, now ready for securing that next role!

2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
