I currently have 4 years of IT audit experience and I am wondering if I should gain skills in doing cybersecurity assessments (pen testing, vulnerability assessments, etc.). Are there differences in salary as i move up? Seems (Google search) like a cyber career only makes about 30k more at the director level. Idk if that is worth pivoting my career over the next three years.

Also is IT auditing at risk for being automated within 50 years? I want to make sure my skills won't be obsolete

Do you really want to test IT general controls the rest of your career? That’s the better question.

I'm ngl. I'm getting a bit bored which is why I am considering branching out doing other things.

Hey OP. I just replied to your other question in the cyber bowl. What you mentioned regarding cyber vs IT audit, cyber has more upside. Mainly because it could potentially land you more strategy based roles where there are usually higher salaries.

Cyber has the same risks of being automated as well. A lot of the hardening or assessments have been automated for a while now especially in the cloud.

If you want to stay relevant you’ll have to keep adapting.

You are planning 50 years down the road? Damn and I thought I was type A.

I don't want to be obsolete before I retire

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload.

It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

Hi Fishes, I am new to this variable included pay structure. From my first company to current I am getting fixed pay only. So, I know how to calculate my in-hand salary with that. I can see here 10% is variable pay. I have some questions,
1. How much will be in-hand salary?
2. Is there any hidden component which may deduct from my salary?
3. How variable pay will be paid? monthly or quarterly or annually?
4. How much variable pay we will get by Average?
