Kudos to New York, San Francisco, and Massachusetts for making it illegal for employers to ask about your current salary. It’s irrelevant. Offer a fair and market competitive salary for the position.

Otherwise don’t waste my time. If you have interviewed me, evaluated my qualifications, and taken my experience into account and you have come to the conclusion that you want to hire me then offer a fair compensation package. What I currently make is absolutely irrelevant.

I would just offer the desired salary range or ask them what the target range for the position is. Nothing wrong with making sure expectations line up, especially with recruiters.

Wonder if anyone can offer advice on which cert to pursue next? I obtained my CompTIA Security+ last year and wondering if I should go for the CySA+ or Pentest+ next. I also have my AWS CCP and will be sitting for the Solutions Architect soon as well. Currently not doing security stuff at work but would love to keep my skills going. I was hoping one of these next certs will help me finally break into a security role and love the idea of pentesting but not sure if the CySA+ is more beneficial.

I currently do securities ops/accounting but want to move into a more client facing role. One of our marketing/client service associates got a promotion, so I’m guessing she’ll be doing higher level work, which may leave a gap for some of the work she used to do. How would I go about asking if I can work on that team in some capacity but still do my current role? I’ve only been there 1 yr and I know my current manager also has some higher level items in securities ops he wants me to do as well.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work.

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
