Overall, yes. Day to day y'know it varies. Pure "security work" is, for me, genuinely interesting and I spend legit personal time learning and working on projects, for no other reason than they are kinda fun. What I do as a security engineer for a corporation day-to-day and week-to-week doesn't always translate to the "fun stuff". So my answer is somewhat nuanced. Yes, I do like cybersecurity. But no, I don't always like the work in terms of how it manifests in corporate life.
