    I’m not going anywhere pal. I’ve only been in the advanced field for 3 years. I do more than the people in my field do

    So you’re still a child in this industry then. There’s nothing wrong with that unless you’re too arrogant to realize it.

    and I’m learning programming on the side. I’m good.

    If you don’t at least scripting already you’re already dreadfully behind in IT. The days of click-ops IT having a solid career path was over more than 15 years ago. Even most infrastructure is IaC today if you’ve got a chance for a long future in this industry.

      Lol what? IaC for large corporations is extremely expensive. Mid to large still run on internal, you must work for a small ass company.

        I’m talking about the future. Your future specfically. See, I’m not offended by your misunderstanding about the industry or trends. You’ve not been in the industry very long. Time will be your best teacher.

            Sorry son, I’ve got a change control window open and code to deploy. If it passes the smoke test in prod, I’ll take you out for an ice cream later. How does that sound, champ?

              Don’t Fuck it up. They will probably fire you for someone younger and more intelligent that they can pay half.

                Oh, I know being laid off is coming anyway regardless of how good a job I do at some point. Its how our industry works. I’m prepared, can weather it, and will have a fine and safe landing. I hope you’ve been watching so you’ll be equally prepared when it happens to you, as it will.
