I have a friend in college who recently received an offer for an entry-level commercial cybersecurity consultant for 80k base after graduating. He has 3 certificates: CompTIA Security+, CySA+, and the AWS CCP. He'll also be graduating with a B.S./M.S in a related major and has more than one prior internship experience in the same area. Unknown bonus structure currently. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Solid offer. Without the company or even industry, can't glean more info, but the offer itself is solid absent any context.

like

Industry is cybersecurity, all certifications and degrees (bachelor's and master's) are in that field. Not sure if that changes anything but am seeking some perspective. Full disclosure: I don't work in cyber.

That is pretty solid of an offer for an intro level cyber role out of UG. Most new hire in consulting are starting at 70-80 +/- 5k. Great they have degrees and certifications but experience will count more.

Yeah this is a good offer. Highest I’ve seen is 87k cyber starting, but that was a stacked profile. Certificates don’t matter as much as you’d think, they more so only help you land the role especially without any previous experience.

Solid offer for fresh grad

Hi Sharks 🦈,

Need some suggestions: My current company is on a layoff spree and 2 rounds are already done and I can foresee another round coming very soon.

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.

If a firm has multiple openings that you’re interested in, is it a good or bad idea to apply to more than one position? I’m a third year interested in retooling from lit to general corp, but they prefer someone with 3+ years of corporate experience. They’re also looking for an M&A with 1+ years, so it may be easier to aim for that, but I’ve heard horror stories re WLB for M&A. Would still try it out tho bc I’m desperate to leave lit, but don’t want to make a faux pas. Any insights appreciated!

A few years ago I found out that companies are required to release their job titles and salary when they sponsor someone for an American work visa. If your firm hires international people, salary data for that role is available.

There is a website called
h1bgrader.com that has turned all that data into an interactive dashboard.

I think this data is far far more accurate than glass door or any other self-disclosure forum.

If you have unlimited patience you can lookup H1B data on Uscis.gov and analyze it yourself.
