I can't justify paying a junior engineer $120k-140k base salary to train them in OS fundamentals over several months in an industry as competitive and commodified as cybersecurity when competitors in Israel, Czechia, Poland, and India are able to hire experienced engineers at a lower dollar amount than a number of junior engineers in the US expect.
This is why the majority of startup activity in the space has shifted to Israel, the CEE, or India with a nominal American HQ hosting a CEO, CRO, and sales reps.
And this is the issue - we live in a globalized world, and a large portion of junior engineers in the US do not have the skills commensurate to the salary provided.
A business is not a charity.
