CYBER SECURITY & DATA PRIVACY | RECRUITMENT MARKET UPDATE 2024
After unprecedented growth in 2021 and
2022, salary increases began to plateau
last year. As we head deeper into 2024, we
are now seeing signs of salary depression,
with candidates often willing to accept lower
base rates than their current position if they
are keen to change roles.
Contractors switching to permanent jobs
for greater security are especially likely to
take a hit on their earnings. However, the
overall impact on earnings across the cyber
security profession has been muted, with
most practitioners in employment achieving
inflation linked pay rises.
