My stutter changes from bad to not so bad then bad again throughout the years. I got into IT almost by accident way back when there wasn't a formal path into IT. But, partly because of my stutter making appear vulnerable and approachable, as well as my increased empathy from being a stutterer, I excelled in the part of IT that involves talking to users about their requirements (business analyst). This lead to a career working with the biggest IT consulting companies on the planet. Which lead to running a service line and creating sales opportunities internationally. This too was enhanced by my stutter as I appeared honest and trustworthy compared to the smooth talking sales guys promising the moon. And then I started speaking at conferences, stutter and all, but it became part of my brand that made me stand out from the others. People think IT is coding. It's actually facilitating communication between humans and machines. Communication is the biggest part of the job. Without my stutter, I'd still be some nameless wonk in a cubicle farm. Your stutter gives you advantages over other people. This applies to multiple career paths. Don't hide from it and don't dismiss your advantages.
