In IT you're invisible until something goes wrong. You spend your days preventing deadlocks, patching systems, automating the chaos, and keeping the entire company afloat but nobody notices or cares. The moment something slows down or an email bounces, you're the first one blamed even if it's a user or someone higher ups fault. All those hours of proactive work? Forgotten
The money is usually good that's the golden handcuff keeping most people here. Six figures for most roles, bonuses, stock options. High salaries in tech roles like sysadmin, devops but job satisfaction is nowhere to be found. The work can be isolating. When I worked in an office days would go bh without speaking to anyone with endless deadlines and little recognition.
There's a reason why so many ITcels dream of quitting their jobs. If you remove the monetary gain I bet you tomorrow that half of these employees working in these MNCs will quit.
