The job that started my tech career was in tech support. It was for a storage company in the very early 2000s. I ended up becoming a technical account manager, then went to a startup where I continued the role but also got into light sustaining engineering (digging for kernel bugs using core files uploaded by customers). It was incredibly informing. I learned so much about people, and process, and business that I never would have seen on the pure developer side. For the last 15 years I've had a fruitful career as a storage engineer, devops, and in cloud development. I owe my career, my debugging skills, and my understanding of business to those first roles in support. I'd never do it again.
