How much can you make in this role?

The salary range for a pentester in the US depends on a number of factors, such as your location, the size of the company you work for, certifications you hold, college degrees, and your skills. I've seen salaries as low as $76,000 and as high as $270,000+ for specialized public sector work. For a junior-level pentester, you can usually expect between $70,000 and $100,000, depending on the factors I mentioned before. I do want to mention that there are far more jobs available on the defensive side of the house versus the offensive.
