At that point, you get a chance to find a new attack. People really care. The government adds a new task order to your contract and then you get working on the problem.
- Eridrus 10y agoNo-one really cares about what you have come up with before except as proof of your abilities. You can't keep building on top of your work as you can in other parts of CS. Personally, this lead to a desire to keep bugs private since then at least you could privately chain things together in interesting ways. It can be a very lucrative career, and it can be a lot of fun if you enjoy turning puzzles over in your mind (though this really applies more to tricky exploit dev), but I did not find it satisfying in the long term.
