Many things look boring until you actually sit down and do them.

I also changed sub-fields every 5-7 years. One has to change jobs that often to get any decent raises — consistent rockstar performance + teamwork doesn’t cut it!!!

And on each job change, I chose to expand my technical background too (instead of competitor hopping).

For me, it has been a huge advantage and highly enjoyable.

Can you give a few examples? I don't think I'll ever switch to do anything not security relevant.

But the inverse is true as well. Many things seem a lot more interesting until you actually have to do them.
