I work in a regulated industry (medical device software), and don't really think I generally do anything exceptional compared to others in my position, but maybe this is a form of imposter syndrome?
I'm a pretty decent developer with a good memory for project history and context, and I also have a pretty high tolerance for dealing with paperwork BS (I've been in this industry for 20 years). This doesn't seem like that tough of a skillset to replicate, but yet they still want to pay me what seems like ridiculous amounts of money to do work that really isn't that difficult. But it's annoying, and most people won't do it.
I was recently asked by a family member "Why would you want to work in an industry like that? Doesn't all the paperwork and restrictions make it an unsatisfying place to work?" My answer is basically: if you want to make a difference in healthcare, you have to play by the rules of the game.
