What are some good non big 4 firms that specialize in incident response & forensics. I'm thinking of switching to a smaller firm. Not interested in firms that sell products like FireEye

I believe Mandiant is the consulting division for FireEye, so they're not really selling products. Other small firms with Incident Response practices: Kroll, Trustwave, Cylance, Stroz Friedberg

I used to work for NCC and I can tell you that their forensic practice is dismal at best. You should try looking at Guidepoint Security out of VA

Mandiant but that might not be a hit with your rules.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?
