This makes me want to change my career trajectory to cyber. Currently doing SAP and making 126k base after 4 years but I’m slowly losing interest but cyber has always appealed to me. Only thing holding me back is the loss in salary for the first few years but this is reassuring to know you can raise your salary so much in such a short period of time.
