I work in the field and I know very senior people even in the US NYC&#x2F;Bay and none of them makes 300K.
Sr. Pentesters top out around 200K in NYC and that&#x27;s really top of the line (world known) guys.<p>Now don&#x27;t get me wrong some one who&#x27;s wearing additional hats, like a CEO&#x2F;CTO of a small consulting group might make that money while still doing some technical delivery, but they make that money despite of that fact not because of it.<p>But sorry there isn&#x27;t a company on the planet that pays 300-400K to their testing staff if you know of one please let me know, I&#x27;ll relocate there in a heartbeat :)
Heck the average pay in the US for pen testers I would say is even lower than London.
