An IT Manager is a great career. It is a top job for IT professionals that demands a high salary. Are you considering this career path? Why or why not?
I'm studying for my a+certification at the moment. Already have a bachelor's in IT. No experience yet, but I'm not stopping my certifications until I become a high demand dude. Plan on going into cybersecurity.
I have been in IT since windows 1.x and IBM OS/2. Been a developer in undergrad, IT operations manager, IT consultant post Grad school and now directly under the IT Director (next goal). To me you have to be sorta a nerd and love and be in it. In the 80s-90s I knew that is what I wanted to do be a computer geek. The thing is now transitioning/migration from an old system to another new one (data migration AWS, etc) It is very valuable you know some of the old architecture to know how to move to the new. Build your skills up. Be a nerd. It is not easy at first. I am a H.E.N.R.Y but I'm gonna keep going.
Interview next week. Tips??
@@DIZZLEBOI44 how did it go?
On point with all z info we need... Keel up!
So very informative, these details are golden, thank you🌟
Thanks sharing for this 💯
I subscribed yesterday after watching you with Oshay. I appreciate the detailed information in your videos. This is high quality content.
Thank you for supporting.
Great job on the video. Been working in IT just over 10 years now. Previously worked 5 years for a small company as their in-house IT guy. Got to do a lot of cool things. Recently last 5 years have been working as network admin for a big company. It pays the bills but deep down I feel bored and burnt out. Thinking of maybe applying as an IT Manager to a few small or medium size companies. I just want to avoid taking a deep pay cut difference any as I live in Southern California and it's not cheap here.
Currently in my final year of my bachelor degree in international entrepreneurship. But right now I'm thinking of pursuing a MBA or another bachelor degree but in cyber security & Cloud or system networks.
Greetings from Belgium
Good video. 25+ years in fam...it is a roller coaster. I could go on a laundry list that I know you have been on. It is fun and secure in my opinion.
Now the salary is based on a few things:
Location
Private sector or public sector
Permanent or consultant
If your re just starting, try the consultant role first to name your price. It gets your feet wet on different projects.
Also the more you climb the more tasks and accountability you will have. It is what you are willing to put up with.
My 10 cents
Thank you for Makin this video bruh. Subscription.
Absolutely, thanks for the support!
I've been exposed to internet and communication technology at a very young age and i fell inlove with it in general , im looking for a field that is it related and likely to yield alot of profit for me because i dont see myself working for someone for a long time
Good video man, I start a IT Manager role next week and will finally be at six figures and at age 31. Like you said I would recommend getting a degree in information systems and technology or information systems and management. That is the degree I earn, also experience matters. My interview questions were all about experience and I will share what yall need to know and all of this has videos on youtube. ITSM and Service Now is a tool that manages ITSM stuff. Agile, Jira is a tool that manages work using the agile method. Learn a cloud either AWS, Azure or google cloud. Get a six sigma cert and again get as much experience as possible.
I'm 32 and have made 6 figures for the first time last year. I'm a city employee for San Francisco. I had to work multiple 80 hour weeks and weekends to get there @ $38/hr. I'm ready for something else. Are there any entry level IT jobs with room to grow? I don't have any kind of information technology degrees or skills is it still possible?
@@maurice2014 Project manager would get your foot in the door, you dont need any IT background. You just need to understand agile and track projects most likely in Jira.
@@usecriticalthinking243 thanks ill look into that!
@@maurice2014 sir i am 21 year old mechanical engineer graduate but i am really intrested in persuing MS in information management but how do i learn nad make my profile good so that i can target good college or inshort skills to get a good IT manager in future??
becoming an it manager, do u really need experience with business systems, hardware and networking services
At wgu now for it management, but worried about entry level job with no experience
I studied a medical course and have no background in IT, but I want to do my MSc in IT course. any advice on what to apply or where to start from?
it would be advantage if someone has experience in one of IT fields and want to become IT Manager.
100% Agreed. It is also an advantage for IT managers to have some business experience as well.
Do you think this role/career path (IT Manager) is still good for 2024-2025?
Hay quá
what is road map for same
This hit home for me man, I was a order selector as well and worked between DC/ retailing for 6 years. I’ll graduate this august with a B.S. in business with some certifications. I will connect with you on LinkedIn for mentoring if you wouldn’t mind💯
Great video, I just have some few questions, currently studying a degree in Information technology and management, will love to know if I really need a lot of knowledge in programming cos I learnt the basics in my first year, and will these coding skills be needed as an IT manager?
They are useful as an it manager but again as a manager it's not your responsibility to code.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it.
Hello sir! Do you have any sort of way for us to connect other than RUclips? I had some questions for you regarding my career path, and would definitely like to potentially gain some mentorship, if that would be something that you're interested in.

I’m getting a degree in computing skills is this the right one … from open university ?
What does this mean?
I Guess my question would be do we still live in a world where people 25 - 30 are being asked to have 15 years of experience to make a great salary? I just turned 30 I have associates degree in Homeland security/Cyber security and computer forensics. I just enrolled in WGU I have worked in IT since I was 18 years old. Once my degree is done I feel as though my experience should speak for itself once my degree is done. I also intend on getting my MBA after my IT Management - B.S. Business Administration is done. Do my expectations make sense?
If resume should speak for itself. Don't worry about what recruiters are asking for. Sell yourself by displaying skills and showing results.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Thank you
Thank you so much for replying
Hello Black Heights. I am currently studying Supply Chain Management-Distribution Management and was wondering about taking analytics with the degree, what path could I take with it into IT field?
I'f you take analytics you are opening up a path into a business analyst and data analyst roles, which are great roles in IT.
Does it matter if it’s an MBA or MS in IT management
It only matters to you. Choose the one that aligns with your interest and goals.
How much experience is required to become an IT manager??
A minimum of 5 years
is IT MANAGEMENT HARDER OR COMPUTER SCIENCE ?
Computer science in my experience
I’m majoring in IT Management at WGU but everyone on Reddit has been very discouraging and they say that I won’t find a job after graduating since it’s very broad.
Don't listen to people who aren't on your path. Make sure you are learning skills and start your interviewing process now for internships and pt/ft roles. Get it done and win. You are responsible for your own path, not some lazy grad who failed to do the things necessary to have a great career.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Thank you ! I will definitely follow your advice. I also want to thank you for the free resources and videos you upload, I’m a new subscriber and I have definitely benefited from your content. I hope learn a lot and squire the skills to become a project manager.
I'm in the same program at WGU. Don't let anyone dissuade you. You likely already have transferable skills. The degree is just a tool. You can leverage it to achieve whatever you want. Your potential is only limited by YOU!
Keep us posted,I've signed up for it also
How’s it going so far ? I’m about to enroll for the first time and also major in the same
Can an introvert can become an IT manager?
Sure if you can manage and lead people.
what about the money? xD
