What does it really take to land a job as a pen tester/red teamer? I mean, if I don’t have the proven work experience in the function, what do I need to do to convince a potential employer to risk it?

To be clear, I’m meaning that if I don’t have proven work experience but absolutely know how to do the job via experience outside of client work, how does one go about making themselves more marketable?

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money. This is a contract opportunity through a non profit so I'm assuming a 1099 will be issued. The per hour rate is significantly less than my billable rate. I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.

After 4 years I want to leave law because of my adhd! I have been to 4 different firms and at each place I feel like I have been “found out”.

Sitting at a desk all day in word documents is the ultimate form of torture to me. My strengths are talking to people. I am super outgoing. Looking for a new career

Hello Fishes

Recently i was scheduled for an EY GDS interview on 5th of November but no one showed up and interview did not take place , what is it mean?

I’ve been in the SE role for over a 1 year now, coming directly out of undergraduate. My company’s pay is low compared to what I’ve seen at other companies but I do enjoy the work and the organization. When is it appropriate to ask for a raise and how long should I stay in the role before I start looking at other companies?

Just a friendly reminder that this is not a Deloitte exclusive bowl. If you aren’t getting the answers you want it’s most likely because D people don’t wanna offer up info that outside firms can see.
