Guys, Microsoft surface pro-7 or MacBook air?
Hi, I been working for Lloyds Bank for almost 9 years now , I recently attended a interview for Barclays and offered an Senior Business Analyst AVP role in Wealth and private banking area. I did not see much difference in the salary offered and it is pretty much same ie 68.5k.But the difference is current role is London based, however the Barclays one is based in Glasgow where cost of living is less in comparison. I am unable to decide whether to take the offer or not..any suggestions will be helpful pls.

Both require significant patience. But there is a thrill in being Domain Admin that it’s just hard to replace as a hunter.

Ditto what C1 mentioned above. The work in pen testing is extremely varied and can cover and emulate all types of threats. I’ve been on engagements where we had to physically break into a building while evading security guards, make our way to a secure area, plant a malicious device on the network, and THEN get Domain Admin - all without being caught. Fun times for sure. I’d say Threat Hunters are in higher demand right now though.
I have done a few physical pentests and it was awesome those few times and made great stories. But I don’t think I actually want to do any more because of the knot in your stomach the whole time. We usually have a letter signed by the CISO or somebody high up in case we get caught. On my last one, they wouldn’t give me a letter because they had armed guards and didn’t want me reaching for anything....
