Came here to say the exact same thing. It really is amazing to me just how many IT professionals are bad at their jobs.

Tech is a boogie man to many executypes. I've seen plenty of IT pros that were in over their head but smooth enough con men. If they keep coming up with things to throw money at/trim money out of convincingly they have long and successful careers.

I don't think it's worse than any other office job.

When I lost my job over the summer I put my resume on dice and immediately had 3-4 guys with Indian accents calling me every day. I found a new job within a week. I still get emails and texts though, can't put the genie back in the bottle
