Problem is IT Audit itself is a messed up field that brings no value. It's a check the box job making tos reports. Try and go deeper and ask about bringing in pen testing or vulnerability scanning into the audit and learning that stuff and firm management shoots it down every time. Have worked at places where people Can't even differentiate between an os and dB. If you have half an ounce of a brain it audit takes it and makes you complacent and dumb. A monkey could do it audit. That is why it does not and never will pay as good as tech jobs. People at the top don't want it to evolve either. It's already being offshored and will eventually completely be replaced by AI.
Look man getting the title was hard enough
It's crazy that we have been taught to just believe this is just what it is. I know people who have bounced around making $155k now. Meanwhile, I'm making $130k as an M2 HCOL. I understand that's good if I was living in South Carolina but I'm not. This is ridiculous. Bonuses aren't enough.
I'm getting paid $97k in salary, $20k in bonuses. But my role changed to IT Auditing. Pisses me off but I'm glad I know $140k is the start.
What are we supposed to do about it? M1 130k
And that's awesome! Good for you. That's a nice bump.
The issue is that when people start accepting lower salaries, the rest of us Also have to accept lower salaries, so you can thank the partners and private equity firms Who own these companies for allowing us to take a lower salary.
Also, people are over flating their salaries on these posts. So when they go into interviews, they have an unrealistic view of what they should be getting paid.
IT Audit is a job that has been largely offshored and will soon be replaced by Chat GPT and DedpSeek. It's a dying industry.
