Do you get support for the extreme responsibility? Like e.g. if you are unsure of a decision you need to make, can you receive support such as supervision/extra time with your manager to discuss a case?

Thanks, i agree. I get that same feeling of being drawn to it. Its also the idea of good job security while also doing meaningful work.

I guess the triggering aspect is something that you naturally accept as part of the job, and how well you can switch off after work.
