How much appraisal hike you all have got in this cycle?
In my case they provided very less hike of 3% and I have done so much work.

Do we have professionals from Brisbane, or other Australian cities here?

I wanted to know what do you guys think I should ask for expected compensation - my profile is :

3 Years into InfoSec compliance around ISO27001; SSAE-18; CIS

1 Year into Identity and Access Management (PAM focussed)

Holding ISO27001LA, CompTIA Security+, AZ900.

In next 4 months I target to achieve AZ500, and CISSP.

Can someone please evaluate and tell me what can I ask in AUD ? Pre and Post CISSP

Thanks in Advance
