What does cybersecurity pay for a novice ( but experienced programmer)? what about experienced personals?

Writing code in cybersecurity contexts is usually market competitive, with either a bump or penalty if you're working in sensitive contexts (Government contractors tend to have a bimodal distribution because they need some people desperately and also abuse people's patriotism to skimp on wages)

I have no idea what novice pay is like.

I'd happily tell you what I make personally as an EE with ~15 years experience if you were to contact me privately, but I don't really feel like posting that on the internet.
