Red Team | offsec Salaries: Can any red team professionals please share their comp package? I am trying to gauge the financial implications of a role change. I have 7 years blue team exp various positions (some purple team). Current salary is 140k base/bonus, remote work, good health care, + stock grants and options quarterly. I am looking to transition to penetration testing and I’d love to hear from people. Since this is anonymous maybe people would be willing to share..Thank you in advance!

For the same salary, you'd have to go in as a senior.

Senior level is around 120 to 250 at the very high end for base.

Get oscp and CISSP and you should get interviews.


Most of the time, blue team just doesn't have the mentality. Two different types of people.

The problem with going red team is that only large corporations and security consultancies need them. Everyone else can just consult out. Not many opportunities the higher up you go.
