Give you 10 reasons not to do it

Summary: There are a lot of benefits to doing it-but if you do, maybe you will consider other career options. And Jack Wallen to explain which factors will become the last straw to crush some it people.

I guess who's going to want to quit at least one or two times? Come on, raise your hand. Come on, please don't be embarrassed. Because it's the pressure, not the biggest, only bigger, this is a secret thing. And, unfortunately, college doesn't really teach you how to spend and stick to the coping mechanisms of these years. So let's see what causes you to be determined to leave your beloved IT industry.

1: Pressure

Please do not believe that it is good to do the nonsense. Because you can get a pressure-less it job, it's a little part-time. Keep in mind that it is the management of disaster. And once a client or user calls you, it's almost an emergency that requires you to dispose of it immediately. And once you do this work, you'd better make nothing wrong, because the price of Lou is a contract or a job. What's worse is that the pressure is rarely mitigated. Day after day, every minute, you do more and more tired, beyond your own expectations.

2: The time

If you're looking for a job from Monday to Friday and nine to five, looking elsewhere for--it seems like a 7-by-24-hour non-stop job. Compared to other general occupations, it's not just about staying in the office a little longer, but working out of yourself to make sure you don't get trampled down by the guys behind you. Others, though not your customers or users, want to be free to use your knowledge to keep your computer running smoothly.

3: The Wages

If you are an independent contractor, one of the biggest pressures facing you is to pay the rewards. In order to get paid, I know that consultants have to impose threats or hire lawyers, which is countless. And if you're a freelancer, you don't have food if they don't pay you. The pressure is heavy. You do not have that advantage, the weekly or half week check will be sent to you regularly. Temper your interpersonal skills is the key to keeping your relationship as good as possible. A good relationship (that is, with someone who is not so good) helps ensure that you end up getting paid. It seems that Americans have defaulted on it workers ' wages.

4: Personnel

It is not my wish to raise this point. A long time ago, I was the kind of energetic, optimistic, people see love, flowers see flowers, cars see the good young tire. Ever since I was a consultant, I have discovered that I have become the target of being exploited, doing more, earning less, talent, not being appreciated, and so forth. Must continue to endure the retreat of the mountain forest, not to do this idea of torment. This is not to say the beginning of man, sexual evil. But once you have the aura of it, people seem to look up to you. Under the same body, you are considered a savior and a sinner, overwhelmed.

5: Superior

Face the reality. Not many superiors can understand your work. They think you can get everything done on a shoestring, without help, and they think you should treat your clients as warm as spring, as if they were better than you. To make matters worse, superiors want you to magically let those PCs work for more than 10 years. Misunderstanding of responsibility and technology leads to one thing: make your work impossible. Every bad factor gets worse once the top level is in your department management. You know what you do and you understand what you do, but they don't know that you don't understand your job. So inter-related, forming a vicious circle of pressure transmission.

6: Technology

Have you ever experienced a time when all the techniques seem to be against you and seem to be different from the other? Are you just trying to clean up all your belongings and get away with it? This used to be one of the problems I had to deal with, since I was working in a consulting firm primarily for Windows Customer service. Sometimes you win the war, sometimes you lose. But the day of victory is always drowned in the days of failure.

7: The Competition

One thing you can be sure of-there's always someone better than you. But in the IT business, it's not the 1:1 ratio. On the contrary, it seems that there are always 100 smarter, more agile and better people behind each person like you. This contrast will soon translate into income disparities. Remember, it's always changing, and if you can't keep up with the situation, you'll lose your job and no one will hire you. The longer I stay in this business, the more I realize that this is a young man's game. Be agile enough, and work can be a protracted battle ... In a word, you have to be exhaustive. I'm not saying that we old guys can't afford to toss back and forth. We can, too. But every day we work, the competition in this field accumulates a bit more, this kind of competition is brutal.

8: Cloud

Every time I hear the actors on the TV say "clouds", I can't wait to rip off my hair and kick a lousy TV. The cloud has become one of the changing concepts of it, "unintelligible", and it is likely to continue to do so in the future. What the hell is "cloud"? Is the cloud "unsafe?" Cloud "How much is a catty?" I keep on freaking out about these problems. Usually when a client asks me these questions, I ask them if they have used Google Docs (Google Docs) and if they have answered them, I'll tell them they've used the cloud. But it will never be satisfactory. Customers and end users want the cloud to bring a magical experience that makes it easier, better, and faster. Unless they know the truth.

9: Disorder

There is no doubt that our lives will be better if certain specifications are applied throughout the IT scope. In order to achieve a set of specifications, many open source projects have done their best, but only the end of the patent software overturned. Those proprietary software vendors just don't want to disclose their code, not compatible with the specification, in order to make their pockets more and better. I understand that, really. But as long as they refuse to follow the rules, the end users and IT professionals will have a headache every day. There is no way to keep up with the rules if it is not possible to stop proprietary software vendors from doing so much.

10: Respect

IT Pros have a bad reputation in the public. Why? There are many reasons. Some bitten for ten years shy. Some consultants seem to want to sell them bigger and better things. As long as these things continue, the public will become weary and IT professionals will find it hard to earn respect. Oh, of course, when they see you in the door, you are their best friend ... The moment was. But once you've solved the "catastrophe" problem, either take a quick pat on the butt or just keep stressing that what you've done is beyond the scope of their hiring (or beyond the time range). It means to use it as a horse.

You want to quit?
