What do you like about this profession?

This is sort of a follow up for a post I made here about a week ago. Where I'm considering getting my next job as a sr. TW

Hope this doesn't come off as rude or condescending as it's not meant to, but What do you all like about this field/profession? Especially those who worked as something else in tech. This may be more relevant to those in the Saas/cyber sec field.

From my understanding the pay isn't great compared to other positions, and I'm worried there will be little to no variaty or opportunities to develop professionally with new tech, or even up to speed with current ones.
