from Debt Free In IT w/ Mike · host Michael Bowden

Send us Fan MailBefore I got into IT, I worked in a call center doing tech support. Every call was timed. The time between calls was timed. Bathroom breaks were timed. That was my only reference point for what a job looked like so that's what I assumed IT would be.I was wrong. About that, and about three other things.In this episode I go through four beliefs I carried into this industry and where each one broke: what I thought a manager would do, how much I thought I needed to know before taking a role, what I thought would get me promoted, and what I thought the next raise would fix.If you're trying to break into IT right now, you're probably holding at least one of these.
