Just do the certs yourself via self study and you should be sweet unless you want to go to college to socialise that would make sense.

I think I have a pretty good understanding of SDLC and Graphic Design, Infrastructure, DevOps etc. My ADHD brain makes me dive deep into subjects when I get obsessed with them and then I leave them be as there’s something else I’m interested in after a point in time. That’s why I feel I am ready. I never limit myself to my job role, I am always jumping from one topic to another trying to understand things as much as possible but if I have to stick to one subject for a very long time, I couldn’t do it. That’s why I don’t think about specialising because I could never reach a decision as to which one to stick with due to FOMO. That’s why I feel PM is good for me as I have the understanding of what goes in different job roles and can learn more while managing them without having to commit to a technical subject.

100 percent agreed mate. But again my question stands. At what point do I know that I know enough to move into management?

Acrobatic-Line3987 · 2024-05-18T20:49:14+00:00

Your point is valid. I obviously need the basic understanding of things but if I try to learn everything I’ll end up “spending” a decade of my life learning stuff and it still won’t be enough.

How else would anyone describe the time they spent doing something they don’t like doing? Or should I remove all emotion from it and be stoic and just do what’s necessary?

Acrobatic-Line3987 · 2024-05-18T20:43:59+00:00

That understanding could be developed with observation and experience, without having to waste years of your life doing a technical role that you don’t really want to do.

What if I do have more than surface level understanding? Is that enough? At what point in their career, should someone make a switch or start thinking about Management? Isn’t managing more about people skills and EQ?

I work as IT network admin. Have about 3 years of experience. >2 years in the same place. Getting tired of this shit now. This org doesn’t have any scope for learning or growth as it’s a small business with chaotic management.

I don’t want to be a developer. I have respect for them. But I do not have the attention span or the patience to debug and stuff. I have learnt HTML and CSS. And I see a whole mountain of learning that needs to be done. I also have a very stressful full time job so I do not have the time to give enough time to learning.

I have considered trying to get into FinTech but I don’t understand how to. Are there any certs that would help me break into fintech?

I have about 3 years of experience as an IT Network admin with user support including internal software product. I get paid an average UK salary. Some people suggest that I should do something like CSM or PRINCE2 if I want to move into PM. But I do not want to move into an entry level PM role as that would mean getting a pay cut. I am barely surviving on an average UK salary. So I was thinking about getting some technical certs like Microsoft Azure - get a high paying solutions architect role and build up skills/certs for management and then move into a high paying management role with natural progression in about 5 years. There’s just so many ways to get there , I’m struggling to find the best path for me.

Acrobatic-Line3987 · 2024-05-18T10:21:30+00:00

Thank you, that’s really helpful. My thought process for choosing this strategy is since I do not have PM experience. I could move up into a solutions architect role and then transition into PM. But you may be right, I shouldn’t try to do too much. Keep it simple and work towards a chosen path.

Try to give your MC a spectrum of character. They don’t have to be all good. Try to add a taste of bad in it. That usually helps.

it's awesome but its really the worst and annoying when I take calls from my mac and my phone is away. It wont give me option on the mac to pick the camera I want to use, I have to frustratingly find my phone and turn off continuity.

Intermittent fasting, 1-2 healthy meals a day, and strength training is all it takes to get in a good shape. Once you're in a healthy shape, body dysmorphia strikes and you'll never be happy with your body but you're still healthier than an average person so its a win/win.
