It's going to be hard for anyone to provide an good answer without knowing your area and what your actual responsibilities are in this role. What's the lowest amount you'd be willing to accept? What if all the offered was 50k, would that be acceptable?

It said 52000 something on the posting
But in the interview they asked did the other dudes discuss salary?
So if they ask me what I want I’m going to say 55 to 60k, but I’m comfortable with what was listed
I’m in Detroit

Without knowing more, your range sounds reasonable to me
So I’m a watch officer which is sometimes similar to noc, depending on where you at. The average salary in my area was between $60K and 80 K, so I said 70K since I didn’t have much technical experience. They actually came back with an offer higher than 80K. So whatever estimates you seen for your job in your area, start towards medium high range and hopefully they give you a fair offer back
What about asking what the budget is for the role?
Why is Cybersecurity still being marketed as a viable career for Entry level if they arent actually hiring any entry level people? Apparently Cyber security is supposed to get larger due to the growth of ioT and embedded systems.
As entry level? I'm currelty trying to break into cyber but dont know where to start tbh. Mostly interested in securing ioT, embedded systems.

Realizing all my cloud certs expire this coming year..AWS and GCP.....I also need to learn Azure. I just got done working on Azure project and truth is I don't even know what's going on. I feel like there were controls missing from the client end but because I never studied Azure, I couldn't confidently say that to a client.It is going to be a long year next year. End of the year, I want to work at the likes Boston Consulting Group. Hope I am not too old by then lol.

What are your current qualifications? Maybe I can help you out with tips. That was me 5 years ago. I got lucky I started as a Senior Level Security Engineer at an MSP because I was able to impress during an interview but I took a year plus of rejections. Getting rejected a lot was very depressing to say the least.
A lot of people are looking for experience hires which is dumb. Although I can admit that learning is not the same as doing on a daily basis.
What’s your experience? Also, do you need to get the CompTIA certs for any reasons?
