Over 70% of cybersecurity professionals often have to work weekends to address security concerns at their organization, according to a new report by Bitdefender.

This intense workload appears to correlate strongly with job dissatisfaction, with around two-thirds (64%) of the 1200 cyber professionals surveyed stating that they are planning on looking for a new job in the next 12 months.

The issue of burnout and job dissatisfaction was particularly profound among UK respondents, with 81% often working weekends and 71% looking for a new job.

i got that, the stress is not worth it. the previous generation didnt need to work 24/7 every week to earn what i did with all the commissions included.

get people to rotate out with me. i'd rather get less pay (provided its sufficient for living) than the chronic stress.

I mean yeah, in a rotation. And when I wake up in the night I'm still entitled to 12 hours of rest before I start working the next day.

i wish! 12 hour rest after a shift would have been awesome.

That's the law in many European countries.
