I work in the security field and hiring competent technical people is harder than it sounds for businesses with small profit margins.

  It's hard because your security department probably sucks. And so does your company culture. Do not take it personally, it's certainly why my employers can't find people fit for the space. A large part of the problem is political cronyism and the incredibly tedious culture that develops when you get a lot of people with very few skills together to talk about something they know nothing about. I'd legitimately take less money if I could somehow be convinced an employer isn't a piece of shit. If I'm going to work for an asshole, I will be well paid. I think this is a reasonable stance most people in the space take. That, or retiring and having a communal garden.

    From the parent > for businesses with small profit margins. … > It's hard because your security department Dude, we barely have money for an engineering team, let alone enough people to call it a department. The security department is me when I’m not being inundated with five other things, all at the same time. It’s not like anyone else has a department either, there’s like, 12 people working here in total man. ^ parent, probably. I know it was true for me in “cash strapped” environment
