This is something that I saw that results in a lot of the high burnout rates in the cybersecurity industry. Before I moved into the InfoSec field, I was in general IT.

As a network admin, you're thanked for solving someone's computer problem. You're thanked for implementing a new solution that is better than the legacy one. You regularly get that natural positive feedback that comes about by just doing your job.

In Infosec, it is a very thankless job. No one thanks you for preventing the unseen threat. No one thanks you for implementing a new security defense. In fact, you often get pushback because new security measures often introduce new hurdles that users now need to work with in their daily tasks. So as you work tirelessly keeping the workplace safe and secure, you don't get the positive feedback from those around you unless your workplace has proper recognition practices in place that understands the work that the InfoSec department is doing. You're often getting pushback just to even try and do the basics that you know the organization desperately needs. It can take a toll on the mind of the InfoSec professional.
