Best isn’t necessarily the same as highest paying

I’m sure FAANG has high prestige and great compensation, but they are not cybersecurity companies per say.
Very often on this app I see people striving for the next big opportunity. I think it’s great we are in a highly driven industry. But, I’d also recommend understanding why you would want to work there.
I see many people who are striving for FAANG or MBB, but have a tough time articulating why they want it (other than general “prestige”). Just my two cents.

Consulting - Booz is the best among the big ones.
Government: NSA
Banking: I heard capital one has a great team.
Tech: I see too many people knocking down FANG these days. I get it. It’s trying to be cool, and anti pop culture. But most FANG teams are pretty good.

Locally, the mining companies pay very well and do a lot of interesting cyber and risk work, particularly the OT stuff (ie automated haulage trucks)

EY2 I'd go a bit higher than that depending on experience. OT is hot and has been for a while, it does get old however. Trying to shoehorn certain technologies where they really won't fit, makes some OT consultants look pretty bad.

Need advice. I have a client who just can't stop getting in their own way. They push us to turn a document quickly (in this case, an LPA for a new fund), and then take weeks to review, following up with a 50-page chart setting forth the LPA sections and detailed questions/comments. I can't keep anyone on this client because their process is so brutally and unnecessarily time-consuming, and I can't keep pulling all-nighters just trying to respond to all the questions. What do I do?
