Red flags for VP / Director roles?

Been seeing some requiring coding experience, extensive JIRA experience etc. Seems strange that a VP/Director in cyber would be doing those things hands on, no?

Depends on the industry, a VP at a bank might very well be a junior resource. A VP at a industry F50 might lead an organization of 200+.

Incident reporting and tracking is usually done through JIRA or a SNOW ticket

I moved from consulting to the internal security team at a Big 4. I do approve problem records, exception requests, look at ticket progress, etc. but I also learned it in maybe 10 minutes and I would be at least slightly concerned to see it as a job requirement at this level and would definitely inquire as to what they were expecting. I definitely don’t do most of the processing of tickets and know of no one at my level who does. The most my peers do is custom reporting and dashboarding, which also isn’t that difficult.

It really depends on the vertical and company size. Smaller tech firms will require a Director/VP to be hands-on. Bigger firms in more regulated industries will have more functional levels VPs/Directors that won’t have hands on keyboard.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

Received an offer from a small firm for 25k more than my current salary. Problem is it is about an hour away and I’m required to go into the office a minimum of 2 days a week. I’m not necessarily unhappy at my current firm but I started looking for other opportunities because I was curious what other firms were offering. Also Office I work at is very small and we just lost a senior. So I will be the only senior there this tax season. Worried I might burn a bridge if I leave.

Do you have trouble putting a title to a risk, a risk is a combination of multiple factors as one equation (i.e Threat event, impact, likelihood, control strength etc.) And really doesn't have a title. A combination of factors are the unique risk.

In essence, the threat event is the title of the risk ? Thoughts?
