Uhh pretty sure IR is sporadic in all forms since no one can predict breaches ...

yeah my old ir shop was shift work...soc was also shift

For Big 4 Cyber, in general the top 2 are Deloitte and PwC with PwC (usually) paying more while Deloitte has more resources at its disposal - which translates to their respective IR service line.

However, for the most $$ definitely should look into smaller more niche firms than Big4 as from colleagues I’ve talked to Big4 IR does a lot of focus/work on post incident analysis rather than true IR.

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
