I've used them all the time in my career, but:

1. I did learn them well, and so I did use Laplace quite often in EE.

2. I jumped careers not into IT, but into tracks which leveraged both programming and a mathematical skill set.

I'll mention: I'd be bored out of my wits doing just IT. The intersection of IT and math includes computer graphics, visualizations, robotics, machine learning, fintech, image processing, and a ton of other stuff I find much more fun and fulfilling.

That's not an implicit commentary on your path, by the way, just an explanation of mine. We all have different goals, desires, values, constraints, etc.
