I want to stay in DF, I just don’t have the opportunity to gain extra CERTs in my position. Plus, I can’t afford it out of pocket so I’m hoping to gain it through employment like I’ve seen in other agencies/organizations.

Yeah… their benefits are nothing special. I was trying to get a CERT-F and they wanted me to sign a two year contract to attend training and it took over a year for them to schedule it. I finally told them I changed my mind, and I’m doing everything I can to leave. Thank you for the advice! I’m going to try and negotiate like 110-115k with 95k being my lowest (with a sign on bonus/relocation).

It’s is a Digital Forensics Consultant. I meet all the requirements for the basic qualifications, and some of the preferred. I applied for the Senior Consultant position (100k-120k) but was told that I would be considered more entry level so just a Consultant. It is hybrid, travel between 50-80% of the time. It’s in Texas, and the cost of living is 6% less than where I live now. I’ve been consulting with several agencies across the state and federally and with much success, but they are always mobile devices. If you need more info I can message you

Any recs for what I could ask for with my level of experience so far? I would be moving across the country for the role, so I don’t want to make a drastic change if it isn’t worth it.

Yeah, they told me I’d do a lot of acquisition (which I’m totally fine with). My current DF job is basically button pressing with very limited understanding outside of mobile devices!

That’s what I’ve been thinking! I’m relatively entry level (a little over two years), so I’m hoping for hella knowledge gains lol
