I’d really like if this line of work wasn’t completely doom and gloom all the time. I’m burnt out of telling people what seems like extremely dramatic, doomed scenarios of the “state of security” all the time. I feel like I’m always the asshole in the room all the time.

I’m assuming any risk management or actuary job is similar. It can be soul crushing sometimes.

I just accept I'm an asshole, and I'm an emo furry.
