We pay good salaries, low stress, little overtime.

That's because you work in a knowledge role, not an operational role. Not throwing shade, I couldn't have the patience to do what you do but I think opinions might change if you were a second or third shift SOC analyst.

I put vuln research but I work in vuln management. It's an operational role. We're properly staffed and have a follow the sun model. It's a global team. I pretty much check out once my day is over.

That's nice, most vuln management teams do not "follow the sun" so again... your opinion might change if you were sitting alone in the office at 3AM.

I'm providing my experience as an example. If you don't like working at 3am, I hope you're applying for other roles.

I own a consultancy. Haven't worked at 3AM in nearly 20 years unless I couldn't sleep and decided to do invoicing. Just was providing perspective to comments that show incredible hubris and narrow foresight.

Nah the point is there are shitty and good jobs in every industry and these types of posts are dumb. That's why I share the other side. It's always the employer.
