    My first career was literally saving babies (running life support on extremely premature infants).

    I find that IT is a far more stressful career than medicine.

    In medicine, we are (mostly) working together for one goal. The patient.

    IMHO, in IT, I don't often see groups within the organization (or in IT) willing to work together. Too many silo's, too many VP's trying to make themselves look good.

    That's an interesting start, and I'm sure very rewarding. Can I ask why you changed? Was it not stressful?

    It's a sad state that in IT we don't work together better. Like Jeff, I've tended to work in DevOps environments for 20 years. I ask questions in interviews to find out if we have a team. IF not, I'll look for something else.
