I likely have a job opportunity to do PCI assessments. I was curious
if it's one of the decent sec jobs or if it's more boring like
compliance checks. Obviously I know there's gonna be a lot of
paperwork involved, but is it likely I'll get to do somewhat
interesting hands on stuff and maybe give suggestions for remediation
once I have some experience? Or Is it more of just check the box
thing?

For more info, my background is mostly in networking, but I know a
little bit of everything. I've never had a security related job and
haven't been terribly interested in security myself in recent years,
but this opportunity came up.
