Large consulting firm looking to fill a variety of security positions.  Slots open in most major cities, but prefer NY, Short Hills, Philly, Tyson's Corner, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Seattle, and San Francisco/Silicon Valley.  The job postings will reflect experienced hires, but I am more than willing to talk to junior folks that have the skills to hit the ground running.
