Is IT/Enterprise SWE a dead end? Going through a self reflection moment.. it seems like IT doesn’t offer any problems that require cutting edge solutions to solve. Distributed? Scaling?. Rust? Why? Is IT something to avoid if one is still growing their careers? Or am I just being closed minded?

I mean if you were in industry and you are not a specialist you might just end up grinding away on features on something that’s already a long-standing money maker. Features which a company later just decides to scrap after a few months or a year. You could be stuck on that product for years unless you’re a 10x SWE or something along those lines

Moreso sharing my story than an earnest ask, I feel compelled to share:

I got my job via a series of lucky coincidences. I am a former art student who winded up working for the print production dept of a major media company in what was supposed to be a weeklong gig, and then ended up as a data analyst in the same org.

When I think of what I would be passionate for, I think of a creative field, like fashion, even if I was a similar, administrative role. I’m not sure there’s room to grow here.
