You could never do this with an IT team .... every single engineer would answer something like:
"I dreamt of leaving this god forsaken job and moving to a farm in a very rural town with 500 inhabitants then never having to touch a computer again"

See, for me it's not as much the computers that's the issue. It's the people. Oh God the people. Makes me want to go deep into the middle of nowhere where there's not even light pollution
It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste their stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.
Find you a B2B position .... it's still glorified service desk, but at least you're dealing with your own kind instead of shudders Normies
Edit: I just realize B2B can still be the general computer literate populace ... I don't quite know how to call this type of job. L3 support?
We deal with other engineers, the customer's in house IT team calls us for support with our specific product, but we don't deal with the end users or the stakeholders, only engineer to engineer.
