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.

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

Hey Guys, Currently I am having 16.12 lac pa in current organization and 5% Bonus So total comes around 16.93lac pa. Nagarro is asking me to rejoin at 20 lac pa (5% Project bonus included).
When I left Nagarro around 2 years back my fixed there was 11.50. Shall I consider this offer of Nagarro. Reason I want to change the job is because I don't have code based automation in my current organization and I have been an SDET in my whole experience.
