IT is so low priority it’s sickening. I left corporate IT a couple years ago to start my own shop but I failed because nobody will pay me enough for the work I do. They try to become your friend and then expect you to do free work for endless hours while paying half or a quarter of your invoice. If you walk in the door you get hit by 20 crying minions begging you to fix everything under the sun and by the time you get to the work you are there for you are burnt out already cause you know it was all for free. I love IT and been building systems since 1977 but it’s one of the worst jobs there is in corporate America. Thankless and you are blamed for everything under the sun plus all the fake friends you make along the way. People suck.
