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 agree with this but I think point is that yes they are on call all the time but in exchange they get a lot of down time to live their lives.

    Not sure it is fair I don’t work like that and I don’t think I can.

    Nurse model seems to make more sense where there is on call list and you get paid for that time.
