UK seems to have a real drought of IT professionals from what I can see. I got almost jumped on when my CV went online, and when I was offered my first job, I got immediately headhunted by another company who was interviewing me who added over £10k to my wage just to secure me. Come to the UK!
Man, I've seen some of the wages from high-level recruiters over there and it feel way lower than here. Sr Risk Managers offering £70-80k a year, experienced pentesters at £40-60k. Not sure if it was just the jobs they had, but seems low for London which is high COL.Have: CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, eJPT, GCIA, GSEC, CCSP, CCSK, AWS CSAA, AWS CCP, OCI Foundations Associate, ITIL-F, MS Cyber Security - USF, BSBA - UF, MSISA - WGU

Not sure where you're looking buddy, but my contacts are around the £90k+ per year mark, with Junior or Standard coming in at between £65-85k. Not sure on pentesters.Client & Security: Microsoft 365 Modern Desktop Administrator Associate | MCSE: Mobility
