For me, working for a small/medium company building something real. None of social media, Microsoft, Amazon or Google. Something that builds precision lasers for engineering, something like packaging or manufacturing or warehouse management. That may be boring on the outside and less glamorous than being a "innovation strategist" at TikTok, but these are real, honest, clean jobs that are not ethically questionable and where you test your effectiveness against reality. As long as they are in a stable market you will have job security and decent colleagues around you with pleasant working culture. (Speaking from European perspective).

Currently I'm a CS university student, and when i think about my 'career' [assuming i will have one] i think something like you mentioned. Something in user security or complex system/embedded security space. I think the word "reality" does the heavy lifting on what i want and what you described.
