Here is the problem peeps, coming to you as an active CISO. Former big4 partner. Budgets are tight, and the doer roles are mostly going to be offshore. My suggestion? Look at internal audit or tech risk jobs as an alternative, and then possibly make a transfer into an onshore fte cyber role that opens up. A lot of what my team does is not super technical, awareness, policy work, oversight, regulatory. Anything that requires end user interaction I keep onshore The technical secops work is outsourced or offshored

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now.
