What jobs exist in IT?

Depends on what one considers to be IT.

I've worked at companies where software development was part of IT. Well, called EDP at that time, but eventually EDP was rebranded IT.

And at companies where software development (for line-of-business applications) was not part of IT.

IT that kept the phones working, the LAN working, the WAN set up & firewalled, the file servers running & backed-up, the SQL servers working, the SQL administrators keeping the SQL systems efficient & with the proper topology for the business needs, the printers working & printer servers working, workstation acquisition & setup & installation, authentication servers, HTTP servers, Wiki servers (intranet & internet), email servers. IT that worked in cooperation with corporate facilities, with business units, with vendors. IT that minded licensing, and compliance, and security, and policy, and worked with the legal department.

IT is a big umbrella.

Community Manager!

While this isn't strictly IT, it's common for tech companies to hire someone to help manage the community that builds up around their product, service, or area of expertise.

Oftentimes a community manager will work with a dev rel team to try and figure out the best way to serve the community, whether that is helping to develop a community content plan, conducting user research, finding ways to bring new folks into your realm, or just keeping folks engaged. All are important!

From my experience, it's a challenging but rewarding position!

• Opinionated dick who believes he (always a he) knows a lot but knows nothing
• Dev who just phones it in
• Dev who shows up, socializes to keep others from working, then collects same paycheck
• Dev who complains bitterly about every new idea but never has any of his own
• BA who just gets in the way and is constantly on about unimportant stuff
• Product owner or manager who hasn't got a clue, but never thinks to ask the experts
• Employees of all stripes who think work is intended to be a great place to socialize (or even mate) and that work is optional

Frankly, most of the female or LGBTQ+ devs I've met are much better than the guys, so the guys just talk over them in meetings and never ask their opinions.

I'm sure I'm missing a few titles, but these cover most of the people I encounter in enterprise.
