Current compensation is $160K base + bonus (22K this year) with 7YOE in the Cybersecurity space. My current client (fortune500) has approached me to join their team.

I’d like to ask for $215K base + 15% bonus + rsu (negotiable) - is this unreasonable and if so, what would be a realistic $$ to aim for? TIA

Hey Googlers, I’m going in for my GCP TAM second round on Monday and had a few QQs for you all:
1. For the RRK2 case study if there is a scenario for handling peak time workloads where the client did a lift & shift of a monolithic architecture, is the best suggestion to move them to micro services to enable serverless and auto scaling features?
2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google

I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
