In every profession there are many unpleasant nuances that sometimes you have to deal with. The IT sphere is no exception, and IT specialists also encounter many difficulties.

It is customary to talk about mistakes more than victories.

In the case of a quick and high quality solution of the problem you encounter, you will certainly be grateful. But not for long, before you make a mistake and commit just a minor one, which you will be reminded of for a long time. Even if the mistake was made by someone other than you.

Some employers think that employees belong to them.

It is, if I may say so, a kind of slavery, when the company management behaves as if his employees were servile slaves. Of course, because they are paid money, so they can be poked and prodded, forced to do anything they can think of right away, called up and forced to work on weekends.

You are used as a personal free consultant.

Annoying acquaintances or neighbors may call, text, and come to your home uninvited, asking for free advice on any IT-related issues.

Most of the time is spent on product support with old technology

Lovers of the latest technology can forget about using new solutions in an old project. Most of the time will be spent maintaining code based on old, already used technologies.

Passing tests and getting certificates will not improve your knowledge

No tests or certificates will increase knowledge and experience. However, it will help to find a new job, because employers are very hungry for all kinds of certificates.
