Somebody just offered me a gig doing DFIR with malware analysis for $75-85/hr. That’s not even close to market rates. What the heck is going on these days?

Remember, this is for an incident and not to hire an employee… DFIR bills at minimum $250/hr, but you’re likely to see prices higher than that.

Brand name firms will charge $450/hr and up for emergency IR support

senior incident leaders are rare, you can look on Twitter or LinkedIn and find a handful of us. partly bc the work is exhausting and stressful. but it Hella pays the bills.

I'm going on my 3rd straight weekend of work with no days off between. Burnout is real y'all.

Did I mention that my business is providing "surge staffing" to overloaded DFIR teams?
