My job is considered both, it involves programming (mostly database stuff so far) but is considered IT because we respond to tickets from users and employees to fix issues in the existing code. Or we write new code to create reports, update the database, or something else related to the data.

Remember you will face impostor syndrome. Remember those Mfs are stuck with you so just keep working through it

I already feel like an imposter and like I shouldn’t have gotten the job, I did the same at my internship where I compare myself to all the PhDs who have been there 15 years and think I am nothing compared to them. But then I remember that at one point they were as inexperienced as me.

addressing tickets from the end user doesn't necessarily make it IT, that's still software engineering

My company considers the job IT, thats how it is labeled so thats what I am calling it. Its my second week so there is probably more to the job than I know yet
