Pwc - about 125k for seniors and 130-150k for managers

The above is accurate. However, this is not an easy field to get into

Mmmm

How about a boutique firm risk assurance senior, with an OSCP, but no experience?

Try Pwc - they have a team called cpt^2. That’s the team that performs pentesting exclusively for clients. Message me privately- I can find someone at Pwc to take a look and make a referral. Comp might be closer to 90k - 100k. Synopsys is a good company to try also

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
