Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi Folks,

I am a penetration tester having 7 years of experience. Though I am doing pretty well in my current role, I am not feeling the impact it creates. Security is seen as a support function and does not bring real value other than audit reports for the sake of regulatory requirements.

Building something gives the real impact on thousands of customers. I want to switch to SDE roles, willing to put whatever the effort it takes. 

Suggestions please.

Software Test - QA

Hey everyone,

I've been working in application security for a year now primarily doing pentesting.While.its been a great learning experience,I'm finding the work becoming repetitive and I'm starting to get bored.

I'm considering making a switch to software development,as I have a solid grasp of programming.

My question to you all is Do you think companies will take a chance on me with background in application security but a strong passion and good understanding of software development?

Switch from pentesting to software developement

Hey everyone,

I am still a student and I am really interested in ethical hacking. But i have no clue about where to start because I don’t have such a person with this interest around me. 

I just wanted to take inputs from a ethical hacker if any here on GV. I just had a few questions 
1. where did you start from ?
2. how much time did it take to be called considerably learned (because i know for a fact that there is tooooo much to learn) ?
3. jobs ?

(This is my first post on GV so excuse me for any mistakes made)

Ethical hacking in India?!

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I have been working at my current company for about a year now. I joined the company with the understanding that I would be learning a lot and being paid less than market value. At that time, I didn't mind being paid less; I joined on 3.5 LPA in Bangalore. After that, in December, I got an appraisal, which put my CTC at 4.4 LPA. Since everyone on my team knows what I'm capable of, I asked for the hike.

I have been doing a lot of valuable work, such as automation, and I've filed patents as well in my final year project at my university. I have also been assigned all of the challenging tasks because my team knows that I am capable of handling them.

I recently asked my manager for a raise. I asked for a 100% raise, which would bring my salary close to 9 LPA. My manager said that he would consider my request, but he eventually came back with an offer of a first 15% and then 25% raise.

I believe that a 25% raise is still too low. I am looking for a job where I am paid what I am worth. I am confident that I can find a job that pays me 9 LPA or more.

I just wanted to know some second thoughts: am I doing something wrong in the negotiation, or should I approach it in a different way?

Not to denigrate others, but I know my teammates carry 2-3 years of experience, but I'm still the one coming up with new ideas and how to solve the problem, and I'm delivering it. Many times, my manager even said he always has higher expectations of me than others.

The excuse my manager is giving is that it doesn't matter; if you join on a higher package at some other place, you'll have to return the joining bonus here of 1 lakh (I'm leaving before 18 months, so), plus after paying taxes, the equation becomes equal, so he's suggesting to wait until December and then look for other options.
