💲Compensation in cyber💲 To anyone that's been in the market this past year, it's clear that there are fewer jobs to go around. Companies are taking their time on hires. Competition is fierce. Many posted roles will see north of 500 applicants. You aren't hearing stories you used to hear of people hopping jobs to double their pay. Instead, you hear about people applying to roles that correspond to titles they held 5 years ago. And so it's not surprising that in this environment, companies are looking to trim cost. Many people have felt that comp is going down. We looked at the data. They are right. Posted roles in 2024 have salaries that are down ~5% on average from 2023. This is based on average salary values from thousands of cybersecurity jobs that run through the Crux job board. It isn't a mix issue; you see the same pattern at all levels. You can read more in our H1 talent market report; including why we think that the current period that we are in, while painful, is healthy for our industry to thrive over the long term.
