My friend is being recruited for a Cyber Security Internal Audit position at a major bank. VP/AVP level he’s currently a Senior Consultant with a background in Internal Audit and TPRM. Would this be a good step toward more management roles? He hasn’t got a lot of Cyber experience but wants to potentially break in and use this as a stepping stone

Keep in mind everyone besides the Janitor is a VP in banking - the role may not be as senior as it seems.

EY1 took the words right out of my mouth.

Indeed. Great responsibility so compensation would also be great. I would have grabbed this definitely.

Yes that what I was thinking. He was able to get it through his network, and I’m trying to encourage him to take it if the numbers/title/responsibility are right. Though I have no background in IA or Cyber so wanted to make sure this was a good role.

He has mainly been doing IA/Compliance work at a Big so this would be a hopefully good transition.

Auditors verify it's respective teams did good diligence while getting the work done and comply to standards. The role would be next step towards managerial side and his Core cyber experience will help him ace it.

The cyber / tech / infra teams try to fool auditors in a very passive way - the one with core experience is the hardest to get tricked.

Overall yes, this becomes a little too much documentation, standards, reports, etc - but is like InfoSec Eye of for the organization's business leader.

Hello everyone , I want to Join NT can anyone help get into NT

A CRO offerred me an internal consulting/biz dev role. They offered 145k TC (20% bump) and slightly better benefits. They also offered accelerated path (6mo to 1yr) to MC. While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
