How realistic is salary info from glassdoor, etc. I am a senior director, a year away from MD, and I think I am severely underpaid. I haven't hit 200k yet (don't know WHAT might happen after this october).

I agree with both of D1's assessments, and I will echo that they are absolutely off the mark for cyber professionals.

My take is that whatever algorithm Glassdoor uses may work better for certain jobs vs. others. It's truly a blunt instrument. Industry comp surveys and salary.com still the "gold standard."

But sounds like no-one is denying the fact that I seem to be underpaid.

K2 - the word senior is to explain an equivalence to other consulting companies. For us at K, I'm just a director.

I think Glassdoor is pretty accurate but you can run into more variance the further along you get in your career I would think.

Yikes. Data point, I'm a M4 about to be Director in Oct. I'm at 167 (mid Atlantic). I'll report in my new base in a month.

In my experience it's pretty accurate and you can expect maybe up to a 10% deviation from the average listed. However, I think most places would try and cap salary jumps to a ceiling percentage (e.g. 20%) if they know what you currently make. I wouldn't expect a huge raise if you're underpaid and they feel like they've been able to keep you loyal for less which is what you've shown them up to this point. However, I would ask for target bonus %s and see how variable comp is with sales

Not accurate..very skewed

If what you're saying is true..you're probably in risk consulting..

K1: what team is that? I get paid less than that and am wrapping my first year as Director in MC. Trying to figure out if it's just me that's screwed or all of Tech enablement or what

Unfortunately, stating my group may make it obvious who i am, to someone from my practice. So...

I don’t believe their all that accurate unless you have more information to compare to. I’m federal and I can tell you my salary (and those of a lot of my coworkers at the same level) is not as high as those listed on Glass Door - fairly sure most of those salaries are for commercial folks

If you’re currently making 53K/yr and have about 1yr 1/2 of experience in X position and the company you are interested in says on Glassdoor that the average salary for your position is 80K, would it be valid to ask for that if you get the opportunity to get an interview?

Anyone willing to share how much they are making as an Mri technologist in Chicago? I know downtown pays better then suburbs. I work in one of the big university hospitals and make 40 per hour. I have masters and 6 years of experience. I recently learned that a new grad who doesnt have his state boards yet has 39 per hour. A coworker experience of 20 years gets 50per hour. Not sure what to think of their weird pay scale. 🙂

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks
