I have a Skype meeting with a recruiter regarding a SOC Analyst 1 (WAF) role. I know they’ll ask me about compensation. I’m not sure what the going salary is or how to go about answering the question without scaring them away. — I’m currently a DoD IT Specialist and this would be my first role in cyber. I meet the requirements for qualifications - about 50-60%. I have a Bachelors in Business and Masters in Cybersecurity with a focus on Threat Detection as well as come entry level certs.

First role in cyber would still be entry level. I’d say around 80k.

Say 80k but you could probably offered anywhere from 65k on the low end to 75k being average

likesmart

75k easily and with clearance shoot for 85

Ohhh! I already have a secret clearance. Good point!! Holding an active clearance is valuable.
