Guidence on the cybersecurity field

I’m wondering if there are any cybersecurity jobs in India for entry level? 
Most of the requirements i see for entry level roles are in between 3-5 years of experience. 
I’m actively looking for some roles in security engineering but only got 1+ year of exp and it’s been extremely hard to get any interviews. 
Any suggestions on how should I approach to land a role in this.

Which is better and why - working in mssp or working in house SOC?

Cybersecurity(SOC/SIEMl) jobs

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.

Cybersecurity Fresher Seeking Opportunities

Need guidance please.
2022 passout. 
Currently working as a Cybersecurity Analyst, the project is more like a Technical Support Role. Have to connect with the user and troubleshooting in their laptop if issue required. Here I have to work in 3 different shifts like for morning 5.30 am or from night 9pm to 6.30 am or at afternoon from 2pm and it's changing weekly. And also have to report to the office now in those timings. 
I want to change the domain to different role like backend or frontend or in the same domain I want to switch to a different company.
Is it good to resign without having any other selection ( I am good to sit without any company for 2-3 months)?

If I resign and will sit for 3-4 months without working in any company, does the next company which I will apply for interviews or openings, will not allow me to sit in their interviews? Or would not go with my resume?
And what could else I have to face .


Need truthful guidance.

Hi everyone I am a 2nd year Btech student and I have interest in the field of cybersecurity but one thought that keeps bugging me is why is it a not much spoken about or common job field even today when so much digitalisation has occurred . As amount of data being handled by big techs keep increasing so should their safety measure to protect it which should lead to more investment into cybersecurity fields by them.

Hi all, 
I have 3 years Experience as a SOC analyst. 
Please let me know if anyone has openings in their company.

Any openings in Cybersecurity Field (SOC)

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.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I haven't change job in 17 years. I started here as a fresher and I am here still. Salary is bad but I can't blame the organization. Don't want to dwell on past (because I do it daily). 

I am Wintel Server Engineer for 11 years and did that is there to do. Then I was asked to do Infrastructure Management of our Network Security Devices and EDR Solutions. So my job helps the cybersecurity teams of my organization but I don't feel I am really doing cybersecurity. With this profile I do not get interviews calls.

I have taken subscription of Acloudguru, tryhackme and plurasight to upskill myself . Have enrolled myself to SIEM training (arcsight and splunk) basically this training for freshers who want to get into SOC Analyst role.

Now, I don't know what should I do ..I want to be in Defensive Security Operations type role but I need money soonest as well.

I am thinking doing Security +, CEH and CySA certs ...studying is difficult...focusing is difficult.  

What should I do....please help.

Need Career Advice.

Hi everyone, I am a final year CSE student graduating in June 2024.

I have got on campus placement in a good startup based company, and my internship(SDE INTERN) is currently going on. Also, I have developed and learned a lot in these past months.

Now, I am clueless, for the upcoming years. I mean, what new skills to learn and grow as software developer. I have researched about it, and currently AI and blockchain are the major dominant fields, I feeled.

Also, I need to know DO's / DONT's from all of you, for me (as a newbie in software fields jobs) that should be know.

All your feedbacks and guidance are highly appreciated 🙏 . Hoping to connect with all great minds.

PS: Be as natural to me
