I really wanted to work in IT but I’m too thin-skinned to deal with the elitism you have to deal with. The other guys just seem to be constantly watching you until they notice something you don’t know.
That’s not really elitism. No one in the actual elite cares if you know obscure command line options. You’re dealing with insecure, traumatized mental children.
What happens when they notice that?
Arrogant sneering. Some people really need to rub in that they know something you don’t. Sometimes they teach you. Sometimes they just use the opportunity to roll their eyes that you haven’t read the fucking manual. Never mind if that manual is itself written in illegible arcana unknown and impenetrable to mere mortals, that just serves to reinforce the notion that they’re superior.
The same happens when you do something in a way they don’t approve of and think you’re ignorant of how to do it “right”.
Mind, not everyone is like that, and I’d say most people aren’t. There’s often someone helpful too. But every now and then, you come across these characters, and due to the nature of the internet, it’s somewhat more frequent than, say, a painter mocking your paintjob.
As it stands nlw, if you can’t deal with them, IT may be a frustrating field to get into. We’re working to make it better, but they’re taking their sweet time with turning into fertiliser.
I feel your pain. Those guys waste so much of everyone’s time, in unpleasant ways, rather than just teaching what they know so everyone can get things done quicker. I hate those guys.
