Why it worked

The video uses relatable archetypes within the IT field, presented in a humorous and engaging way with visual aids. The direct question at the end encourages audience interaction and comments, which is a key driver for TikTok's algorithm.

Summary

The video categorizes IT professionals into two archetypes: 'The Machine,' who are disciplined, physically fit, and constantly seeking certifications, and 'The Wizard,' who are technically brilliant, don't focus on fitness or money, and are always learning. The creator asks viewers to comment which type they are.

Product placement

The video shows images and clips related to fitness (pull-ups, a muscular man) for 'The Machine' archetype and images related to technology and coding (a person at a computer, a stylized image of Tony Stark) for 'The Wizard' archetype. No specific product is promoted.

There are only 2 types of IT professionals 😂 THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IN IT. ALWAYS FALL INTO TWO ARCHETYPES. Archetype 1: The Machine 🧁 THE FIRST ARCHETYPE IS JUST ALWAYS DO SOME PULL UPS TO 10 REPS. SUPER JACKED FOR NO REASON. INSANELY DISCIPLINED. AT 6:00 AM, THEN GO TO THEIR FULL TIME JOB, THEN THEY COME HOME TO STUDY FOR ANOTHER CERTIFICATION. THESE PEOPLE ARE ROBOTS. THEY'RE MACHINES, BRO. AND THEY TEND MONEY BECAUSE THEY'RE SO WELL ROUNDED. Archetype 2: The Wizard 🧙 THE SECOND ARCHETYPE JUST DOESN'T TOUCH GRASS. THEY'RE LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF THE FIRST ARCHETYPE. ABOUT THEIR FITNESS. THEY DON'T EVEN MUCH MONEY THEY MAKE. THE ONLY THING THEY CARE ABOUT IS LEARNING MORE THEY CAN JUST NEVER HAVE ENOUGH. THEY'RE ALWAYS WORKING OF PROJECT FOR HOURS STRAIGHT. COMES TO TECHNICAL THEY'RE INSANE. LIKE, THEY'RE INSANE. LIKE, KNOW THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING. THERE'S REALLY NO IF YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL IN IT, Type 1: Type 2: YOU'RE EITHER THIS GUY OR THIS GUY. ARE, BRO? COMMENT DOWN BELOW.
