Its also a hugely lucrative ones for people who like working in Software as a job as opposed to Software Developers who like programming, enjoy the craft etc. Not to say that such people aren't good at their craft; just that they're more vocational: they understand certain technologies and know many different ways to configure them which is what businesses need and pay them good money for.
It can also be a stressful one if the tech you're familiar with goes out of style. Lots of re-training involved, years of experience is basically worthless, etc.
- ragona 8y agoYeah, when I first encountered the field I was quite confused. I’d interview developers who had worked for years, but only knew about really weirdly narrow areas of SAP or whatever and definitely couldn’t display the kinds of skills that we usually evaluate for. It’s so different as to feel like a completely different field; we just happen to share titles.
