I was training in IT networking but my first job was desktop systems. I was supposed to be trained but instead I spent months just being assumed I knew how to do anything.
I think that’s every IT job out there. Training sucks; and is usually biased around loser add-on products that wouldn’t make it themselves but they piggy-back the main offering to sell licenses (hellooo RedHat).
So there’s a lot of “yep but lemme go look that up” and crushing imposter syndrome. Like paramedics, there’s just no way we know all of this; I’m glad that usually no one dies on the bad days.
