Hi All,
I am considering taking a tech comm job that has very little to do with =
Information Technology (IT). I have only ever worked in the IT =
industry, so am a little nervous about moving outside this realm. Sure =
I'll be using computers to do the job, but it will not be the same as =
writing about them (I imagine).
Is anyone prepared to share stories about similar choices, what you =
decided and why?
The sort of things I am worried about are:
- If I leave IT it will not take long for my IT skills/knowledge to =
become obsolete. Will I have trouble getting back in if I want to?
- If I love working outside IT is there enough of this sort of work =
around to sustain a career?
- Is there a noticeable difference between salaries for IT and non-IT =
jobs?
No - I am not looking for you all to decide for me, just looking for =
advice from the more experienced and wise!
