Common Misconceptions About the Tech Industry [Comic]

Think you know exactly what it’s like to work in tech? Narrow conceptions of what the industry is truly like tend to cloud people’s views. We decided to create a little comic to address a few of these fallacies.

Common Misconceptions-About-The-Tech-Industry

This comic was created by Extra Fabulous comics for the Toggl Team – the people behind the world’s no. 1 time tracking app.

So what else have you been working on?

Mostly the comics. We’re putting new and improved comics out every Thursday, so like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram if you want these delivered directly to where you waste all your time anyway! We also post on LinkedIn if you want to pretend you’re doing work.

In the meantime, give Toggl a spin (by clicking anything that looks like a CTA on this page). If you work for a startup, chances are you’ll need a time tracker.

Do you have any more tech comics?

If you’re jonesing for some more comics, you might enjoy this strip explaining IT jobs with a broken lightbulb. You might also want to check out this one showing why robots might not be so good at your job after all. 

If you work at an agency, you’ll probably appreciate our illustrated guide to the Seven Circles of Development Hell. Also, we have ranked the worst kinds of webdev clients using pirates.

If you have any ideas for the next one, or if you think we’ve missed an essential part of the startup life, let us know where it says “Comments”.
