What job in IT requires the least amount of social interaction? This includes coworkers. I need a career that is tolerable to my autism.

You've literally just perfectly described a sysadmin.

coworkers are your friends.
you'll learn and function better in a team

it's a spider

Wrong development is better. Sysadmin is exepcted to attend meetings and assist end users/contractor from time to time. Also they are expected to budget and may have to present to leadership and possibly boards.

No such thing.

The job of an IT professional is to spoonfeed normies and help them use technology. This means you have to teach and mentor people. An above average amount of social interaction is required. From low level tech support, to specialized service administration, to upper management, all of IT is required to do this.
Wrong, to be a successful sysadmin you need to be able to explain sysadmin concepts to normal people.

If you want a job that doesn't require social interaction go be a night cleaner or something.

I'm a developer forced to attend multiple staff meetings a week, a team bbq and an idahobit morning tea

>If you want a job that doesn't require social interaction go be a night cleaner or something.
I would unironically do this if the wage wasn't so shit.

Data entry

>idahobit
web searched idahobit thinking it might be some kind of teambuilding LARP, u know, resembles "hobbit"

fucked up user, u didnt go did u? im an actual fag, but pushed indoctrination disgusts me

>coworkers are your friends

t.never had a job

be a plumber, user. You will interact with clients but they are too stupid to understand and they will only care about the work done.

Comfy, good pay, and physical activity is good. Also you can get lot of time to do Jow Forums like installing Arch or making your own keyboard.

You'll screw up your back twisting yourself into awkward positions when working under sinks and in cabinets and the like though.

t. The guy at work everyone hates

Night shift break/fix.

When I did that, I never saw my co-workers. I'd go to a remote site, and send 12 hours at a desk alone surfing the web, waiting for an icon to turn red on one of the screens on the walls. If something happened, I had to fix it.

How did you get that job? Sound amazing

you will screw your back by sitting 8 hours per day in front of a desk, user.

What is comfy about dealing with piss and shit all day while climbing through someone's basement crawlspace infested with spiders?

I just stumbled into it when I dropped out of grad school. It paid really well because they had a hard time keeping people; they'd go nuts after a year or so without human contact.

night shift sucks

i thought being alone was going to be a good idea, but after one year working alone and only seeing my coworkers for an hour (in a 9 hour shift), i had to quit my job due to depression. being alone all the time is not that cool as it sounds. i had filtered internet and no ssh, youtube worked.

It's a pretty standard NOC position but it sounds like it was a small enough company where it was just them. Not unusual as a job in of itself.

I'm a NEET so that's pretty much what I do already

You sound like a huge normalfag. I'm alone for 12 hours a day all the time and I don't get 'depressed'

You are there to work faggot, not make friends. This is why I have noise cancelling headphones and ignore everyone except my Jewish uncles in top level management. The only folks I answer to. Come in at 5am in the morning, complete kanban board tasks assigned to me fast and live by 2pm and go pick up real friends and do some rounds on my Cessna. Normies actually come in at 9 and leave at 6.

I spent several years working a 12-hour night shift; 6 pm - 6 am.
The secret is to not switch back and forth, but just stay on the night shift schedule all the time. Many co-workers burned out, trying to switch back to a daytime schedule for their weekends, so they could spend time with their families.

What time do you go to bed?
Also do you mean a flight sim?

7pm sharp. I also eat a lot tinned fish.

Real plane. I hold a PPL and flying is my hobby. I generally go to some nearby places like Wien, Tirol or Bern and eat dinner there, fly back home and I'm in bed by 9. Over the weekend I can fly further away and I usually sleep in other countries.

That honestly sounds rad

You just sound like a typical normie who freas out when he doesnt have social interaction 24/7

The pay.

Not as much as the former.

No, he's right. You're the guy no one really likes or cares about. You're the uncooperative, annoying asshole who scrapes by merely with mediocre work because no one wants to interact with them.

Very untrue. Trying to be liked by everybody will get you nowhere. You will never go past being a supervisor.

Everything you do at the company; social interactions and interpersonal relationships must benefit you in some way.

In my experience people who are oversocial and rely on teamwork so much are the ones that are mediocre. They use socialising as a cover for their uselessness and stupidity. They are mostly roasties and minorities. All show but no work. I know our HR has a list of them and they would never mix me and my other krautfriends and some based Slavs with them. They are mostly given simple tasks just to keep em busy and are the ones who show up on mzny seminars and conferences. When a potential customer asks a question they couldn't read off the template they wrote, they have to Skype us for an answer. This fagots don't even read the specs we send them.

But the true workhorses are usually well known and the company will actually try to isolate them from the rest of you using corner offices and other tactics. These employees are the ones being primed for replacing the next executives. They earn on average 2,5x more times than you. Try filing a HR report on a 10xer developer because "he doesn't play with the team" yet he is the only guy who can reliably implement the best signal processing algorithms in one of the industry. The only thing you did was implement an Electron app or worse wrote the Zendesk Support articles and all the time you want to talk about game of thrones. Fuck you, if I want friends I'll make them outside work.

t. Mech engineer who ignores office politics

>Network engineer

I have a 2 year degree and don't talk to anyone outside of an email. I listen to music and audiobooks all day while building maps for people. Fucking love it.

Read the post he replied to. The person ignores everyone but the supervisor. If the manager is any good, he'll isolate you and you'll be a cog, never to be promoted or given a raise (or given minimal). No matter how hard you try to avoid office politics, it determines your promotions and raises, especially in large(er) firms. You have no idea how many decisions are made in the smoking area. Hell, I hear managers talk about who's next on the chopping block during a smoke break. The social guys get talked about the most for promotion while the cogs are forced to remain cogs.

>hurr normie durr
ebin, fuck both of you. work was pretty much my only social interaction, since working night shift pretty much blocked me from seeing my family. i've been a neet for 3 years now and i can tell you that having no friends is no fun.

Remote support/contracted programming

Ive gone literally weeks without talking to another human being and i not once did i get le boohoo depressed:^((((

Youre just another emotional normie who needs to be around people otherwise he'd go mad. Theres a reason why solitary confinement is still being used a method of torture on you people today.

Where can I subscribe to your blog

yeah sure, nice scoliosis, office drone.

>boohoo i couldnt see muh family :^(((
>Nightshift is just too hard guize, i get so lonely and depressed :^(((. I would go a whole 15 minutes without speaking to ANYONE. Its insane.
Why are normies so mentally weak

I see 3 or so co-workers a night for between 15 and 30 mins. 10hr shift is normal. I have unfiltered access though and my admin duties keep me pretty busy. The best part of night shift is not having to deal with city traffic. I commute an hour one-way and it would be more than double that if I was a day normie.

Biggest downside is lack of promoting for night guys, but I made senior and get regular competitive raises so long as I remind the director that finding a competent replacement for me would be neigh impossible. I've had four inters who were supposed to train into the role as backup and all of them burned out in less than a month.

Great counter argument, normie.

Tell me more.

Jow Forums Janitor

still here? Shouldnt you be socializing or something before you start crying and get depressed again

I'm socializing by talking with you
Btw what are you doing

not much wbu

Does anyone else just walk straight into the IT department when they need something? Those nerds immediately do what you need to make you go away again.

>needs 9 hours to complete a day of work
>thinks he isn't the normie

i'd knock you the fuck out with my computer you little bitch lmfao

How does one get an entry level job as a system administrator or whatever?
I'm in my mid 30s, no college education, and only ever worked low/no skilled jobs to avoid interaction with normies. Well I'd like to change this now if it's possible, because my back hurts from manual labour. Anyone please?

How about you just learn how to be normal?
