Hi! Just wanted to see if I got a decent offer. I’m a new grad, so this is a P1 level position. It’s in information security at Disney. Base: $75,000 Yearly bonus: 7% LTI: 25% Sign-on: $20,000 #cybersecurity #security
Thats not a bad offer. Get experience and in two years, youll get double. Then once you hit 5 years, youll hit 200+. It will escalate quickly.
Exactly this. My only addition to this advice is that you need to learn some stuff and make yourself valuable. Having an “interest in security” is not a marketable attribute.
Is this a sec eng or sec analyst role? And what location? Can you also provide more details about the job desc
There’s basically no such thing as an entry level SecEng position.
Another thing to consider. Even if you dont think its the best offer, hows the management? Do you think they would make a good mentor? One thing people forget about earlier in their career, having a good mentor can truly speed up your professional development.
Also some great advice here. Along with a mentor, I’d say it’s a big plus if you get to be part of an important organization change, eg opening a SOC or adopting MITRE. If you want to make big money in 5 years, you need to convince your future employers that you can help them do the work.

How did this happen? (Meta Stock)
It's crazy how much salaries haven't moved at all in the past 20 years. My first entry level engineering job also paid around 75k
Right but this isn’t engineering. Infosec is paid differently
Im aware, I'm also in infosec. I made 75k when I first started in the field. It was a security engineer position
