What is the market like for cyber consultants these days? I was just annoyingly told that I had a strong business case for Senior Manager, but that I had to wait another year to meet time in roll requirements.

I have strong, broad-based cyber experience across nearly 10 years in the workforce. Also very well-versed in how consulting firms are run. Feel free to DM me or mention in comments if you think you have a role that could be of interest.

Right now, there’s is more demand for cyber consulting services as a lot of companies near the end of the fiscal year, allowing orgs to burn leftover budget. But, this tends to be cyclical. The past couple of years there’s been moderate growth, but we did see the highest growth during COVID boom. In summary, I think cyber consulting continues to grow, just at a more moderate pace.

Always read about people moving to industry for 20%+ increases with RSUs, but the offer for my move is about the same I'm making now in NYC. Think I will take it anyway but curious to hear the consensus view.

Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?
