As title, ill but continuing to work from home, should I put it down as a sick day or work from home health related absence?

Coming in as a cybersecurity 602, London office. Any advice or things you wish you knew before starting? Particularly, tailored to career progression, growth, etc.

Hi all, as per the title: wondering if it’s possible to delay on demand start through request to support or any other way?

I have an in person course but have recently changed job and would like to take a red teaming course instead. Realistically, I’m too early into my offensive career to take sec660 right now but would like to down the line, so wondering if it’s possible to transfer my course to an on demand course starting at a deferred date.

Thanks!

As per title, does JPMC fund masters degrees? Going into tech role and under the impression they would, was told by hiring manager someone who was on their apprenticeship is taking a masters but wasn’t sure if that was funded by them or not (had to get back to my office). Additionally, would they offer you time away/reduced hours to do so? Keen to complete an AI/security related project and know they’re pumping money in to AI so maybe that’ll change things?

Hey, ruminating on an offer in security focused tech as an associate, wondering what the culture’s like in London tech.

Keen to hear about things like work-life balance (truly 9-5, 35 hours?), internal mobility (less so about the promotion aspect, more about whether it’s actually possible to move between teams per your interests), job security, and how JP Morgan stacks up for your future prospects if you’ve left. For context moving from civil service so if anyone’s got comparative insight would be great, of course, the money is great in relative terms, but how interesting the role will be, not so sure. I’m young so have time to develop and unsure if taking a switch to a less stimulating/*technically-challenging role will be worth the gold cuffs.

Additionally, if there’s anything you anticipated and was wrong about, or didn’t know prior to joining, for better or for worse, would be great to hear.

Thank you.

I’m in my 20s and currently work in cyber threat intelligence, make a good salary, and still have lots to learn. I was recently offered a role at a major bank for a ~1.5x base salary + bonus bringing it to around 1.7x (>6 figures total with bonus - though not guaranteed). I’m at odds with staying as I believe my current role is the one I’d enjoy more day to day, is likely more ‘AI resilient’, and would pay dividends down the line for bigger tech companies’ TI teams (ie. Mandiant, MSTIC, Crowdstrike, etc.) if I become an SME on a particular APT group.

How do you navigate between depth of technical skill and breadth as well as passion vs pay in the short and long term? The oncoming offer has a large remit and is customer facing for a large technical estate, but can’t help but think that I’d be dropping in technical depth (not that SOC is easy, it’s just less dynamic), increasing stress/work time (forgot to mention, 1 week in 4 is a weekend shift), and less secure - both because of AI and just the job market generally, I’m not bullish on AI as I likely should be but it is definitely impacting sticking strength of roles.

Tldr; offered big pay for less boring, less flexible direction role, but no certainty I’ll receive better in few years if I don’t take it. Not sure what to do.

Hi, wondering if on-call and weekend shift work is compensated differently or it all comes under the salary umbrella. Asking as negotiating an offer for London associate tech role that (obviously) requires weekend shifts and potential on call.
