Tech Veteran Finds Freedom After Leaving Cybersecurity Career
DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA – After three decades in the tech industry, Lisa Fail, 61, decided in late 2024 to step away from her cybersecurity career. The turning point came when her boss admitted she had likely reached her peak at the company, leaving her feeling rejected and disillusioned.

Fail described the moment as realizing she had invested heavily without real commitment in return. She had secretly hoped for recognition or promotion, but the conversation forced her to reassess. She became more transactional at work, cutting back from 60-hour weeks while still performing strongly. Eventually, she shifted to part-time work under a new boss.
Reflecting on her career, Fail recalled vacations interrupted by laptops and conference calls. Now, she embraces slower mornings, free from false urgency. Her takeaway: work is not life. Employers buy 40 hours, but the rest belongs to you — and should be lived fully.
