Convinced yet? No? Well, let’s take a look at some other statistics. Financial ones.
Check out these entry-level pay rates for cyber roles from Indeed: $38.57 an hour for Project Managers, $51.86 an hour for IT Security Specialists. Extrapolate those numbers over a full year, and you get salaries of $80,225.60 and $107,868.80, respectively!
And that’s just to start. Let’s take a look at the figures later down the career path.
too, has a breakdown of high-paying cybersecurity jobs. Here’s a look at the average salary range for six different positions:
Information Security Manager: $125,000 to $215,000
Cybersecurity Engineer: $120,000 to $200,000
Application Security Engineer: $120,000 to $180,000
Cybersecurity Analyst: $90,000 and $160,000
Penetration Tester (Ethical Hacker): $80,000 to $130,000
Network Security Engineer: $125,000 to $185,000
But again, say you’re a Vermonter or a Montanan. How useful are those numbers, when location isn’t factored in?
The folks at ZipRecruiter considered that, too. They put together handy salary figures broken down by state — a perfect complement to the above map from Cyberseek.
Among states with the highest average cybersecurity salaries, New York narrowly leads the way ($123,918), followed by Massachusetts ($122,746), Washington ($121,890), New Hampshire ($119,461), and Hawaii ($117,889).
As good as those top numbers are, the bottom ones aren’t nearly as bad as you might think. North Carolina, the lowest state on the list, still carries an average cybersecurity salary of $90,882.
