I think security is one of those fields that is really only a good career path if you are super passionate about it. A lot of people pursue security careers for the wrong reasons.
The problem is every client needs security, but they all think a silly vendor tool or the government is going to bail them out creating high pipeline volatility in our space. Not to mention we don’t get enough of a seat at the executive table yet, and that artificially suppresses our income.
Want? Sure crossed my mind plenty. Will? No. ROI too high given skill, inflation, and being in a field that values results rather than pomp and circumstance in many cases.

Yes. I did leave to become a data analyst and came back to become a cyber analyst lol.
Thought it was my dream job but realized they get paid way less than cyber folks and also deal with the same BS. Also it’s still easier to find a cyber job than a data analyst job.
