Throwing this out here- is there a difference between the pay scale and growth prospective of security engineers and security analysts?

I'm considering switching from network sec engineer to threat hunter and a lot of folks instead advised me to stick with engineering

Engineering is fine but not network engineering as it restricts the scope of growth. Go for threat hunter as its a highest privileged role in all the security teams. Consider network engineering as 5% of security where as threat hunter as 70% of the exposure in terms of security and growth perspective. Don’t restrict your self to network there is lot more. Pay wise you will see the difference in between the 2 roles

I am in final rounds with a company. They asked for my comp. expectations last week. I dodged this and got their range instead, which is lower than expected. They now want to chat about next (cont’d)

I initially asked for 135k at my startup. They offered 115k and we ended at 125k. Within two weeks my manager left and everything shifted to me. I received praise for the work I did and to this day I still own all those responsibilities and some. We hired a backfill who has now decided to leave for cultural reasons, similar to my manager. I have been wanting to quit for sometime but wondering if this is a good opportunity to push for 20k more and leave in 4 months instead of next week.
