My wife and I want to travel to several continents post-COVID, while also both working remotely. Are there any jobs in Cyber that can be done entirely remote and that still pay very well? I have a CISSP (associate status). Currently I do a lot of assessments (NIST, ISO, etc.) and data protection related work. I am beginning to break into more technical consulting work such as implementations (although I do have a pretty technical background) . I would love to break into cloud eventually.

How much do you make now?

Unfortunately most Cyber jobs have to be done stateside due to the nature of the work. Best bet is to save up PTO and also ask for an extended leave of absence as another poster suggested.

Probably not. Jobs like the one you’re describing are few and far between and definitely not for beginners. Would probably be easier to take extended leave from somewhere.

Best bet is to get into cloud. That you can do anywhere. As the guys pointed out there’s a lot of privacy and data sovereignty stuff to deal with in cyber.

However.. now that I say that, you could potentially get a company to spin up a VM in whatever region/country you’re working on and work off of that.

What do you guys think?

Yep 👍

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

I've completed the final rounds for 2 companies: AWS as an L7 Principal PMT and another that's a Series-A funded startup in the HCM space. I expect offers from both: AWS around $400k TC ($250k base + $150k stock) and the startup should be around $300k TC ($250k base + 20% bonus). If comp wasn't the ONLY consideration, what would you do? The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.
