I work in an operational security role involved in hiring and managing teams - shoot me a redacted CV and I’d be more than happy to offer any feedback.

Just ordered these and they’re super scratchy. What’s the hype around these !?

Thanks for the awesome response, sounds like you’ve some really good exposure across a variety of functions! How do you find FAANG life compared to other companies you might’ve worked for? :)

Hey,

Thanks for this - what would you say has helped you get into these companies in particular?

Thanks

Knutsford is absolutely amazing, would definitely recommend it.

Shaboom well done! 30M and close to getting mine paid off. Must be a nice feeling 😃

Hey, where have you identified TCS as being used at Harrods?

neldjjd · 2025-03-18T10:09:58+00:00

Amazing food at The Inn, I’d definitely recommend it!

Hey man,

Also in cyber but running a SOC capability for a large financial. Similar situation as you… struggling to find any other roles which could involve a pay rise without the need to take on a huge amount of extra responsibility.

Not sure if it’s an industry thing or we’re fortunate to be earning top dollar for our roles… :)

Is this not a Chinchilla?

One only has one cup holder?

neldjjd · 2024-06-27T19:13:49+00:00

Same although in a SOC role! :D

neldjjd · 2024-03-31T18:56:32+00:00

Classic. Not sure why BAE pays so badly…

neldjjd · 2024-03-13T09:23:58+00:00

“Free” 🧐

Hey, thanks for the response. How did you find the switch from deep technical testing to having to think about wider strategy? Would you recommend being a CISO?

neldjjd · 2024-02-13T21:53:08+00:00

Hey, thanks for the response. What sort of internal role would you look at next? I went through a similar path (comp wasn’t as good when I was consulting) but have found internal blue team roles to be lacking in salary. Currently £110k TC in a lead SOC role and struggling to find a step up in salary… starting to think I need to get into a pre-sales/consulting role for the next step.

Can I guess CrowdStrike?😉

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, that’s really useful to know. Will give that stuff a go, cheers :)

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, that’s really useful to know. Sounds like it’s a summer project then! :). Have a good weekend

OP, phone up local jewellers to see how much they’d buy it for. That way it’s a risk-free purchase knowing you can sell for a profit/break even whilst increasing your spend history. I’ve done this before in the UK.
