Whatever offers the most autonomy and least amount of human interaction I assume you're trying to get into the field if you're considering a help desk position. That's usually a foot in the door. From there, you can get some certs and get into something more comfy in networking or obscure linux sysadmin stuff Long term, if you specialize in something ancient or unusual that companies can't function without, it puts you in a great spot to negotiate autonomy and a high pay.

When the success of the company depends on what you release, then yes it is
Jason Ortiz
Not stressful. I code maybe two hours a day. The rest of the time I am surfing the net or going on long walks around the area of my office. If I decide to work from home, which I can basically do as often as I feel like, I rarely bother changing out of my pajamas that day.
Brody Scott
maybe you have a low IQ code monkie job,so that's why it's not stressful for you
Least stressful position? Doggystyle is pretty chill
Jack Martinez
Hard work pays off. Doubtful your some kind of savant coder that can do Gods work in two hours. I'm sure you get paid well but you probably are lazier than you realize and can't put in the effort to work 40 hours a week and make a fucking killing in your profession. I code from home and get paid 250k a year but I work my ass off. I guess either I'm retarded or your god tier. My guess though is its the other way around. We'll see who is laughing when I save up a few million dollars over the next ten years and retire when I'm 40 and live off the interest alone while you're still proud of walking around aimlessly at work(why would you want to spend anymore time at the office than necessary?) after putting in only 2 hours there or just wearing your comfy PJs. #comfy&lazy
Christian Brooks
coder isnt stressful is you like having a plan what to do in the next couple of weeks in advance, you can work continuously without many surprises. and you usually have the bigger team to hang out and discuss work than THE cybersec or THE sysadmin
Evan Butler
Hard cock pays off
Liam Garcia
That's cute, you think coding is stressful?
I work for a company that went public last year I make 350k I pull 11-6, no weekends I get 3 hours of coding a day max I got promoted earlier this year

I have had a 7 figure NW for years now. Funny you trying to give me advice when you aren't even on my level.
Dominic Fisher
Why are you on this board? Make 5 years and put it all in bonds or ETF There i no investment better than index fund And no, you are not smarter than a zero sum game And NO, you have not self control and emotion control over your investment you are literally a retarded staying here and gambling your money for a +50%, no you'll lose it all cause you have all to lose and nothing to gain, you are the type of person who will sell too early

The least stressful is networking. Maybe once or twice a year you need to do some system upgrades but aside from that you literally come into work, sit at your desk monitoring a screen of green cubes that confirm everything is stable, then leave at a reasonable hour. Maybe once every few years you have some project work to do with back-end upgrades but they give you several months to do something that a skilled employee could pull off in a week. Lmfao @ even asking if helpdesk is stressful, it's the entry-level position for all IT and is one of the worst jobs on the planet depending on the organization.

All depends on your company user.

>The least stressful is networking what about automation? Will it be automated with the AI meme? If it's so easy to do, could it be automated?
Joseph Flores
You need a 4 year degree and some experience. If you dont' have a degree you need more experience to counter. Automation affects all things, but we're very far away from automating away networking jobs. It is not easy to do, and networks are the most critical piece of any IT infrastructure as EVERYTHING runs on the network.
>computer goes down Just that user is impacted >server goes down All services on that server are impacted >software goes down Just that software is impacted >network goes down EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE IS IMPACTED.
You have to be very careful in network roles as you have the ability to break so much more than other jobs like a code monkey.
I don't disagree with you user but there isn't anyway for us to change that system. I interview people all the time but the 4 degree requirement is set by HR. I don't have any control over that.
Evan Rodriguez
you are not in London and if in the job ads is written ''you need these certs'' why the fuck do you try to discourage me? I don't want to go to ''college meme'' Only because you are burger it does not mean everyone should be burgers
Colton Howard
Would slam. Hard.
Asher Evans
>The least stressful is networking. Dude what the fuck kind of network do you support where you don't have constant projects, upgrades, infrastructure refreshes, and break/fix troubleshooting going on? >If it's so easy to do, could it be automated? There are a lot of difficulties with automating networking. The majority of equipment is only accessible via a terminal session or some stripped down GUI. Newer and higher end equipment will have an API with standardized output/input, but everything else will be some vendor proprietary syntax for input and output that differs even among products by the same vendor. Also, as said, literally everything rides on the network, so adoption of automation is slow. This makes sense from a business risk perspective, but makes little sense from a technical perspective. 90% of major outages I have worked on have been due to some idiot mistyping a command or in general sending bad input to a device. A proper CI/CD pipeline standardizes everything and makes it harder for humans to fuck up one-off things.
That being said, learning a bit of Ansible/Python/Puppet/etc. for simple changes has basically mandatory for supporting any kind of large network.
>Do I need a degree to do this kind of job? No, but you will go further in your career if you have one (in the US at least).
Juan Flores
To answer OP's question, Security and Compliance probably has the least amount of day to day stress. Most of their work revolves around defining and enforcing security standards, updating process and security training, and maybe configuring firewall rules depending on the IT department. The downside is that the Security people will fall on their swords and be fired/disciplined whenever a breach happens (inevitable for any kind of big and public company). So the threat of losing your job or position is always over your head.
Helpdesk will be the most stressful on a day to day basis, but unless you're genuinely awful, the job security is pretty good. I've only seen a helpdesk tech be fired literally once in a pretty long career in IT, and it was only because the guy mouthed off to a C-level.
Owen Nguyen
Certainly not Project Manager. Probably something like Designer/UI Developer.
