I don't think it was meant to be an "infosec is wrong and I'm right so I'm leaving" type story.

I like that the author wasn't afraid to make a change, not everyone can but it makes for an interesting story!

It's a nice story. The author discovered he's passionate about people. Did a lot of thinking and seems happier now.

I don't think it speaks badly about the pentesting part of infosec, even though those in auditing tell me it's extremely boring to be in infosec.

Sure. But the title insinuated an analysis of how information security causes one unending stress, day after 20 years if working in it one develops a hardened siege mentality etc etc etc. I have read things like that befire, which were interesting perspectives That would be more on point with the title.

Anyways nothing wrong with the text, but my comment stands.

Your comment should kneel before the reasoning of his argument.
That's okay. I didn't read it.
