I’m currently at KPMG - S1 (comparable to L6): TC 108k (all base) Have offer in hand for Cisco Security Engineer - L6: TC 135 (all base) + a 10k sign on bonus Anyone have any experience inside Cisco? I’m on the fence for taking the offer since 135 could not be worth the unknown at a new team #it #interview #cisco #offer #kpmg
Yoe ? Location?
Take Cisco for the reputation. Cisco is a legit tech company.
Cisco will open many more doors. Even being there for a year or 2 will give you a lot of options. That’s your exit. Take it
Cisco is spending a lot of money and effort on security, should be a good org to be a part of.
Work for Cisco and then study hard on leetcode and jump to FAANG companies. Even though Cisco is not a good company, comparing with KPMG it is better
Come work for a vendor. Way more fun.
I left KPMG for Cisco. Only Con is layoffs but kpmg just had a layoffs as well so it’s comparable imo. It’s not safe anywhere. But overall, I love working at Cisco. You can’t beat the benefits either. It’s a lot better than KPMGs.
Anytime Cisco
DM me
Not worth it cause you reset the clock when jumping. Better off shooting for 150k or higher
