Working in IT often means being confined to a siloed existence.
You simply work the tickets you're given. Everything else is the "other" team's problem.
Management convinced you that this is the best way to avoid scope creep and burnout, even though you're already experiencing that.
However, what if it had more to do with the higher ups purposely preventing you from seeing why you've been getting a raw deal this entire time?
What if they knew that once you started working with other Engineering teams, you'd discover that not only are they doing similar work as you…
They're also get paid twice as much and only commute to the office twice a week, if at all.
Once you've seen the light, all you can think about now is: "Where do I go from here?"
As an IT professional myself, I've seen this far too many times.
You're now at the point where you know you deserve better, you're just struggling to figure out where you need to direct your desire for real career change.
