I decided I wanted to get verbally assaulted by engineering teams I was reporting findings to day in and day out. Who would have thought, I managed to make a career out of it!

(ps, if you do go down this route, try to find a job at a company with a good security culture. starting one from scratch is walking a road of broken glass)

Corollary: Don't try to fix a company with bad culture. You can't change enough of it as a low level employee. Quit, and find somewhere better.
