Thanks for the reply, I am graduating soon with a CS degree and I have the OSCP, from what I know this is probably the bare minimum to get hired

Unless you have the above mention, a starter even with oscp have nothing much of a advantage to get good package cos everyone have oscp in those that you mentioned. Just Join anyone of them and get the exp and cert I mentioned then you can get a better offer soon

You can check online and their job postings.

The salaries are all listed there clearly. Same for Nodeflair website.

You don't need any certificate or whatever, I don't know what's that guy talking about, certs don't decide how much you get paid. I know cause I work in local consulting myself.

what i meant is even with oscp or no cert, you dun get much different in term of salary as a freshgrad, so dun need to expect or choose so much. Cert does matter in the future, when he change job for a more senior role or ask for more money.

UOL first class. I got take part in CTFs and know how to hack using armitage, armed with CEH. What kind of pay can I expect to get?

I hope you're joking but if this is serious please leave the part about armitage off your resume

I think even in infosec degree programmes in local unis, profs will discourage or even taunt you (in a friendly way ofc) for using GUI 😂
