Hi all,

Need genuine opinion.
I have experience of 6 years in performing sast/dast and also managing a small team
Should I take next role in core pentesting as a senior tester or
Lead role to manage security of applications and junior pentesters ?
Let's say I do pentesting for another 2 years, Does core pentesting experience will add more value to take up lead role later?

If you are getting a techno-management role then go for it. Sticking to IC or pure technical role will not enhance your chances of getting to a lead role(as in team leading position). You have to decide, if you want to be an IC or Manager in the next 5 yrs.

Thank you thank you so much for your opinion 😊😊

I got an offer at Nokia, and my new manager said that she wanted to put me in the higher salary bracket however the HR insisted that we lowered the range.

Dad passed away 2 months ago. I traveled to India and stayed for 2 months, dealt with significant red tape to close his cards, loans, transfer pensions, etc. A succession certificate is WIP for one of his accounts, so mom decided to stay back until it’s done. Mom has always refused to hire a maid, loves to hoard, cleans superficially, the house is always a mess when I visit and all my India trips are spent cleaning including this one. I’ve fought with her a ton over the last two months as well..
