IT Career movements (or lack of)
My issue with IT careers is; if you stay with the same company for many years, your "locked in" in your position and seen to do certain things and nothing more - let's face it - no manager wants to see you move on because he will need to replace you with someone who is just as good - so it is not in his/her interest to see you grow.
If you move on to another company, you have to start all over again; learn new processes, people, tools, etc.. and of course, you have to "prove" yourself despite 20+ years of IT experience and most likely you end up reporting to a manager who is 10 years your junior ....
What a deal?
