Switched from web development to IT support for more money and a better location

Switching careers led to a stable job but feels unfulfilling due to competitiveness and recruiter expectations

What I wish I knew
"More about the competitiveness of the IT field and the importance of specific experience"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider the long-term implications of career choices and the potential limitations of switching fields"
