Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · No job advertisements/recruiting or solicitations; posts that are link-only are auto-removed; AI-generated content is banned.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, discussion, story
Headline: short, specific question or personal outcome (e.g., “Should I leave IT after 2 years unemployed?”). Write in first person, 3–6 concise paragraphs with context, steps you’ve tried, and a clear ask. Tone: candid, practical, respectful. Length: ~200–600 words. Upvoted: real problems, concrete details, honest success/vent posts. Removed: job ads/recruiting, AI-generated content, title-only or link-only posts.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/itcareerquestions's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
