Hey fishes,
I have a job offer to relocate to Germany. I now have an offer of 100k euros per year fixed and another 15k euros some other benefits. The company will provide a car on lease to me as well. In India I have 42 LPA. Is it worth moving there? When I calculate there's not much difference in the savings that I currently do in India. I have a decade of experience in Security Engineering and Ethical hacking. Also please provide me any additional things that I need to consider here.

It all comes down to the kind of lifestyle you want for yourself and your family. In Germany you get the external environment quality lifestyle for the amount of tax you pay, where as in India even though you are one of the highest tax payer, you don’t get any privileges equivalence to being a high tax payer in Germany.

That's what I am currently evaluating if it's a good move and if I can maintain the same quality of life that I am currently leading in india. Also maximum 10 years is I plan to stay in germany.

Congratulations on your offer. Will you please let me know what certification or course is required to get into this penetration testing field.
May I know your experience and for which firm your currently working with..?
Appreciate any guidance in this matter.
Thank you

OSCP from offsec is the gold standard beginner certification(Not an entry level cert but highly respected)
Entry level certs include PNPT from TCM security.
CEH from ec council

Thereafter it's a path you need to choose, web pentesting/mobile app pentesting/network pentesting/reverse engineering/exploit development/red teaming/blue or purple teaming.

Usually out of these one good candidate will try to become good at minimum two paths.

From there many stay in tech and some venture in to the IT security audits and project management.
Some even start as auditors. Here CISSP cert plays the catalyst. Specifically for audits it's the CISA and the ISO27001 it audit certs.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
