Ask HN: IT careers for those who hate people

5 points by misanthropic ↗ HN
Over my 20+-year carrer it seems that there's same pattern for me, - enthusiastic hiring, 2-3 years, and I'm fired over issues management has with me (nothing atrocious like stealing, being late, hygiene etc -- just not a team player and not corporate friedly). I'm not a people person, and I can only hypothesize that people sense that and distance away, and finally have enough. Remotely too.

So now I feel that here's coming another round, and I find it somehow pointless to go for another job hunting, because the cycle will most probably repeat itself. I wonder if there exists anything IT-related so the human contact is minimal?

Am programmer by trade

Thank you

I guess you'll be looking for a remote position. Sounds like a pity IMO, usually the quiet ones are the best! Good luck
Any IT/Software job where human contact is minimal is on the chopping block, ripe for automation... I think interacting with people is unavoidable.
