I don't call it IT (and I've been doing this 20 years overall) because I worked on the IT side of tech (where I got my formal start after many years of freelancing), and made a lateral move to the software side (again formally, being a freelance developer for years prior as well) after I realized the pay in IT would continue to suck no matter how many certs I got nor what an infosec rockstar I might become.
