I didn't leave IT. I left the hotshot tech companies.
After a few years in which I became really, really unhappy to the point of depression due to certain events at the company I used to work I went to a small organisation which is currently starting to get into technology to support their consultancy business.
It's a much friendlier place to work, with people who honestly care about each other. If I knew this was possible I would have done it ages ago.
A small thing I would also like to add: people claim the problem in technology is men. This is not the case. The problem in technology is assholes. And they exist at both sides of the gender divide.
- amorphid 10y agoUpvoted for reminder to strive for "no assholes".
- notjack 10y agoThose are two different problems.

- bythckr 10y agoI read somewhere that students who were earlier planning to go to wall street are now heading to IT. That explains the assholes in big shot companies. I got into IT for the sheer love of programming. I am someone who is detail oriented. I have observed "detail oriented" as the key issue I have with the assholes is that they don't care about the details. Their approach is to throw 10 things and see what sticks. They are very impulsive and very impatient.
