IT is a weirdly hard field to break into these days, and climbing the ladder can be difficult as employers generally don't want to take a risk on someone who hasn't worked in helpdesk/sysadmin/security/etc. before. Once you get your first role with the job title you want it's 20 times easier to get your second one.
The job market also sucks right now. 1-3 years ago it was amazing and I landed interviews I should not have landed simply because places couldn't get candidates, but now I've been laid off and spent 3 months and about 40 applications and ultimately took the first offer I got (it was also the second place to call me to interview)
