Actually not true. I used to work for JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley and they do not pay more for cyber security. Consulting will absolutely pay more. In banking they lump you with the other technology groups and pay on par for your "tech skills”

VP at banks pay roughly 140-160. Morgan Stanley made me an offer for 150, told me they cap at 160 for VP. Knew another guy making 140 at JP for VP role. Bonuses are supposed to be good. Ive hedge funds and tech/fintech firms pay the most.

Why banking out of all the other industries ?

Because of the intersection of having shitloads of money, and being hyper vigilant about the risk of losing that revenue stream because of an attack, which they’re subjected to pretty much constantly.

Healthcare and public sector also are targets but aren’t rich the way banks are.

Definitely FAANG. Pay is on par with developers at these companies. I’ve seen a post with someone with 7 yoe at big4, but got an exit opportunity at a FAANG company with 300k total compensation

Financial will pay higher then other industries but beyond that tech or infosec companies will pay as well

This, if you can get in at a company who only focuses on infosec, they're going to pay better and your skills won't get as rusty as big 4 style consulting.

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks
