Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
What do you think?

Hey — congrats on your degree and certifications. Breaking into cybersecurity can be tough at first, but your mindset is exactly what matters.
While you’re continuing your job search, you might want to explore freelancing on platforms like Upwork. It’s a practical way to gain real-world experience, build a portfolio, and start earning.
You could start with:
* Basic security audits for small websites
* Vulnerability scanning (entry-level tasks)
* IT support or system setup
* Documentation and compliance-related work
Even smaller projects can help you build credibility and get your foot in the door. Once you have a few completed jobs, it becomes much easier to grow from there.
Stay consistent — you’re closer than you think.
