Blue Cat Defends!Apr 25, 2023

I had a conversation with my boss yesterday and I was mentioning that after taking Project Management I'm glad to understand it better, but also glad to realize I will always want to be on the "doing" side of tech, not the "managing" side.

He told me that as VP of IT he desperately misses actually doing the tech work and does next to none these days.

I always saw my goals as leading toward being a CISO someday, but now I'm not sure I want that... CISOs of Mastodon, what are your thoughts? Do you get to do any technical work or is it mostly management? Do you like where you landed? Is being a CISO fun?

As an aside... I recognize that any job is not ALWAYS fun. But for the most part, my job as a cybersecurity analyst was a lot of fun and I enjoyed going to work most days. I felt the same as a Sysadmin for the most part. So, when I say "is it fun" I'm talking like... 70/30 is it "mostly" fun.
