GRC pays well Although GRC is the most boring career ever when it comes to pay, and you're comparing it to like security engineering or network engineering, I think that's where it sort of wins. Also, the, so, with networking, the network goes down. Yeah, that's a lot of stress. Being on call, that's a lot of stress. If you've ever had to deal with an MSI or any type of security incident, that's a lot of stress, especially when it's like back to back. But when you're doing GRC, you're not really dealing with all of that. Unless it's like all the time or like, you're getting stuff in before an audit, maybe there's pressure, but still, back to my original point. The pay is comparable to other engineering. I mean, it just depends on. If we're talking about mid-level, average mid-level, then yes, pretty comparable. But now, if we're talking about somebody that's like, like somebody like me. Not like me, but let's say we're talking about like a CCIE, that's different. Their pay is going to be like way higher. Or if we're talking about somebody that's really, really good at cyber security, their pay might be a lot higher. But if you're like, in a low cost living city, you're probably better off doing GRC just because it's not as taxing. Um, you just get your work done and like, like comparable pay. So, yeah. GRC is pretty cool.
