Expected Salary Hike for cybersecurity professional Role

I’m planning to switch jobs after 3.5 years with my current organization. I work as a SOC Analyst with a total experience of 7 years (this is my second company). My current CTC is 9.5 LPA, and I have expertise in security monitoring, threat intelligence, and incident response. What kind of salary hike can I realistically expect in the current market? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are you open to roles beyond SOC, such as Threat Hunting, Red Teaming, or Cloud Security, which might pay more?

If you switch to an MNC or a product-based company, you could target 18-22 LPA.

@awesomesnail 18-22 LPA is a fair ask.

Given your 7 years of experience in cybersecurity, a standard hike would be 50-100%, depending on your skills, certifications, and negotiation strategy.
