What is the Best Paid Career Path with Life Balance in Cybersecurity?

The author of the post asks the community about the best career path in cybersecurity that offers both good pay and work-life balance. According to their opinion, the positions accessible with the CISSP certification are the most interesting. They mention that penetration testing (pentesting) is very stressful, vulnerability analysis and reverse engineering can be frustrating, and SOCs (Security Operations Centers) have a poor work-life balance due to shift work. They also suggest extending the discussion to better-paid paths and those offering a better work-life balance, including full remote work, and comparing situations between Europe and the United States.
