I left cybersecurity, specifically application security, because it felt like screaming into a void with no one listening. Well, once in a while the void would scream back about deadlines and deny problems exist. It was very demoralizing to work hard to not only identify vulnerabilities but also to filter out false positives and come up with remediation and education plans to correct and prevent future vulnerabilities only to have that work ignored and tossed aside. As security debt grew and grew, I myself grew concerned that if a breach happened, my purpose would be to be the fall guy despite the amount of evidence I had showing I did my job but was ignored. So I left and am looking for a new path, probably in data visualization.
