Darkreading posted the following article on a infosec job survey that I found highly intriguing.
"Kushner and Murray say they were surprised by security's high number of
unhappy campers — 52 percent of the around 900 security pros who
participated in the survey are less than satisfied with their current
jobs. Only 27 percent said they are are satisfied, and about 21 percent
said they are more than content, according to the survey. "People in
security are generally passionate about what they do," Murray says.
"You'd think in a progressive industry that [it wouldn't be the case]
that one out of two are not happy…that shocked me."
Salary isn't the problem, either: Around 45 percent said they
make more than $100,000 a year. "It's pretty telling that [they're]
well-paid," Kushner says. And when asked why they change jobs, money
was not the main driver. Turns out, 37 percent said they move on to get
closer to their career goals, 30 percent to learn new skills, 22
percent for quality of life, and 10 percent for higher salaries."
Come to think of it, I'm at my 3rd company in 3 years! 🙂
