As a fresher of course most of the younger guys and girls are preparing for a career in IT, there are many of the “dirty little secrets” that you must know which would most likely surprise you because people don’t usually talk about them out loud… So doesn’t matter if you are a fresher or an experienced professional in a different field, here are certain things you must know about IT before jumping into it…!!
Although these are not aimed at developers and programmers as they have their own set of additional dirty little secrets, however many of these will comply with them as well.
Let’s see them one by one:
• IT pros frequently use jargons to confuse non-technical business managers and hide the fact that they actually screwed things up!
• The pay in IT is good compared to many other professions, but since they pay you well, they often think they own you!
• It will be your fault when users make silly errors!
• You will go from goat to hero and back again multiple times within any given day!
• Your non-technical co-workers will use you as personal tech support for their home PCs!
• Certifications won’t always help you become a better technologist, but they can help you land a better job or a pay raise!
• Vendors and consultants will take all the credit when things work well and will blame you when things go wrong!
• Veteran IT professionals are often the biggest roadblock to implementing new technologies!
• Some IT professionals deploy technologies that do more to consolidate their own power than to help the business!
• You’ll spend far more time babysitting old technologies than implementing new ones!
These opinions are personal and are not meant to tease some one or hurt their feelings and are rather the personal experiences ‘coz as a matter of fact I am an IT professional myself…!!
