Today’s guest is Tom Bugden – a software engineer turned Cyber Security Recruiter.
In this episode we discuss:
- How to stand out as a candidate
- How to better work with recruiters
- Why some senior roles are severely underpaid
- Why job specs infamously ask for 5 years experience in a 1 year old technology
