Confluent inc. Hi. I know everyone has to sign an NDA, I did the same in advance of an interview with the hiring manager this week. Anyone have experience with the Information Security organization? Any tips for preparation aside from the basics like researching the company values, its products and technologies, recent security breaches etc.?

I've found being likeable and showing that you can find the answer even if you don't know it - is the most important element of being in a higher tier security field. The job interview will devolve into talking about non-job related topics if they really like you, because they appreciate the answers they are getting.

Beyond the basics, I’d recommend brushing up on industry-specific security trends and tools the company might use. Be ready to discuss how your skills align with their security needs, especially if you’ve worked with compliance or risk management before. Showing familiarity with company and their values, expertise is definitely at the top of the list of priorities

If you can check out the hiring manager. Sometimes they will have written blogs or articles worth mentioning. Especially if they have a tech background.

Don't be shocked to find tech that was end of life 10 or more years ago. If you've got a background in Lotus Notes, its may just land you that job!

Suggestions?

Hello fishes. I'm an MBA graduate currently working as a digital marketing professional in a mid size consulting firm with 3 years of experience.
I am terribly underpaid in my current org at 5.5 LPA after a recent promotion and annual appraisal. Another mid size consulting firm offered me 7.5 LPA but I am asking them around 9 LPA.
Am I asking too much or shall I take the offer of 7.5 LPA?

Thank you

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
