I have 7 years of experience in cyber security, including prior experience as a technical team lead and currently serving as a Cyber M for the past year. I’ve recently been invited to the first screening for a Principal Security Researcher role (IC4) at Oracle. However, I feel that IC4 might be a lower grade than what aligns with my experience.

How would you recommend I approach the call to strategically position myself for consideration at the IC5 or IC6 level, or potentially a Senior M?

It seems unlikely that they would upgrade you to a higher role in my opinion.

What makes you think this way?

They won’t upgrade you. You’re a project risk

What do you mean by that?

Also I keep seeing this question…

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
