patio11 covered this in his career advice article.[0] I read that article around the time it was first published. The tidbit about cost centers and profit centers has stuck with me since. I have, for the most part, been able to avoid being attached to a cost center. Primarily by working at "tech" companies rather than more conventional companies which put software engineers in "IT" departments.
