Okay, I admit, that is one of the more accurate descriptions of myself I have seen. I wonder if I could get a tiny bit of career advice here. Currently I basically have a couple of old employers that are quite happy to take me in for a few months a time to do something (financial regulation/risk management of derivatives is a powerhose of things not solved/done well enough) The trouble is, I'd like still to do something else on my career, and I have been flirting a bit with infosec, playing hackthebox etc, and pentesting might be fun. I acknowledge starting an infosec career would be a pay cut, but I am not that worried about that. What I am worried is that I have this nightmare of a infosec job where I spend my time running standard scripts and producing standard reports to customers, instead of this probably naive idea of getting to really scratch my head and hack around new problems (obviously some reporting is unavoidable) Is it possible to avoid the nightmare, if yes, how? Or should I just be happy with my current contracting gigs?
