What IT specialists pay for success

    Very often, success stories forget to indicate one very important point. Namely, what price does a person pay for his success. The IT field has a keen interest in this subject. Since, even while at home, a person works on a computer remotely. You can spend all your time working, promoting your brand, service, but your family thinks differently about it.




    An ordinary person’s work scheme looks something like this: Work-Home-Weekend-Vacation-Work. Thus, a person delimits his activities and spends a lot of time with his family. He can always count on weekends and vacations, when all his time will belong only to him.

    The scheme of work of the leader / entrepreneur looks like: Work-House (preparation and collection of information) - Weekend (meetings) - Vacation (transfer of authority) - Work. As you can see, a person’s free time is reduced, since he needs to prepare all the information and make operational changes to his activities.

    As for the IT specialist, very often he needs to be online almost 24/7. Wherever he is, he always has access to working information. Of course, it is not always possible to work as productively as in the office, but it is possible.

    As a result of which many specialists in the field of IT, there comes a moment when he can not do anything. Even when he is resting, he thinks of something useful.

    Arriving at an interview with a local Internet service provider, I came across two very strange people, then they seemed strange to me. Now I understand that many behave in much the same way.
    Telecommunications Specialist. He’s a very funny guy who, besides being able to find a common language with any client, also plays great in World of Warcraft. It is a pity that his wife left him and took the children. According to him, his wife was annoyed that she could talk to him only by calling the support service.

    Well, and then I was struck by the phrase: “Yesterday during sex, with my girlfriend, I thought that we needed to pave new ways.” This not normal. Well, when a person takes a shower and thinks about the meaning of life, but not so much.

    High dedication, the ability to work remotely turn IT professionals into people who no longer care about anything other than numbers. And this trend is really scary.

    Most companies have cafes, fitness rooms and other items in their offices. But they do this so that the person is longer at work and thinks about work all the time.

    I would like to know how you can find a balance between work and home. And what does your girlfriend / wife think about your work?
