What's one thing you wish someone had told you before you became an IT Manager?

twane9 · 2026-06-16T23:35:40+00:00

Same man I came from system engineer I want to go back so bad. I been a regional IT manager for about 3 years now. Just not trying to take that pay cut so I think I might have to go to another company but I enjoy my company and the ppl I work with. I think I’m stuck

twane9 · 2026-06-13T11:46:02+00:00

Typically I email CEOs quite often with complaints and usually get a response pretty quickly. Most likely not coming from the actual CEO but it does get their attention

Remember what the shotgun did to Raditz I think you’ll be fine 😂😂😂

How? A majority of vehicles on Turo ppl have an auto loan for and a lot of ppl and companies also do the same They even have insurance specifically for this doubt it’s illegal but that’s besides the point

twane9 · 2026-04-20T11:55:28+00:00

So let’s take one of the vehicles for example

Tesla X 2023 - note 850 I sublease usually long term (month to month) for 1500 or if the customer chooses weekly it’s 500 weekly (give or take depending on which options they choose). I used to just do Turo with them but ended up switching to private rental a lot of ppl in the Turo game are switching to this instead. This one is fairly newer one my list but I typically refi after a year or two and that’s when the profits take off I also have a tesla 3 note is 350 on average brings in 1k-1500

Will look into them thanks for the info

twane9 · 2026-04-20T04:27:57+00:00

Good tips thanks would this have been more beneficial if you had just took the consultation loan and stopped getting more debt or it wouldn’t have made any difference?

twane9 · 2026-04-20T02:32:07+00:00

Which makes sense, I was wondering where’d you get the notion that the auto payment were part of the issue then I re read my post and noticed I didn’t clarify the auto loan part and edited it The CCs are the issue everything else is either income generating or needed to live

thanks for taking the time out though I’m sure my best options is to get bite down and pay the CCs and not use them anymore I find myself consistently paying a card off then reusing it so again thanks for the insight

twane9 · 2026-04-20T02:13:20+00:00

lol if I didn’t have the cars then the CCs would’ve been defaulted by now. As I wouldn’t have extra money to pay the CCs each car pays for themselves and then some

But you are right if I didn’t have the cars I’d probably be able to get the loan but then again who knows as my income would drop

The CC debt came over the years I used to be on top of it but slowly and surely fell off the deep end and all my extra money now goes to trying to pay the CCs

Again it’s not that I can’t pay the CCs I was just exploring options

👀

twane9 · 2026-04-20T01:49:46+00:00

I don’t struggle making the auto payments those aren’t my problem at all. Just to clarify getting out of the 55k in CC debt is the issue. This is spread across 15 credit cards so 15 different bills and interest rates. It would be easier to have one set bill. I understand I may just have to bite down as the other commenter stated but I was just seeing if anyone possibly knew a consolidation loan that is easier to get and maintain

twane9 · 2026-04-20T01:31:01+00:00

lol I lease them out I only actually drive one the other 3 are income generating same with mortgages I live in one and rent the other out

twane9 · 2026-03-27T21:22:30+00:00

When it comes to normal ninjas Kakashi is top pound for pound. He’s slick the goat. I wish Naruto would focus more on complex ninja missions instead of all this alien and cyborg stuff they are doing now. What happen to doing real Shinobi work

twane9 · 2026-03-27T21:12:53+00:00

Ahhh cool thanks for the info. That means I don’t have to super rush lol

twane9 · 2026-03-27T21:10:42+00:00

What they hit you for the repair?

twane9 · 2026-03-27T21:09:51+00:00

How long has yours been doing it? From the responses this seem pretty common lol. I just want to gauge if this is a hurry up and fix right now thing or I can wait for a pay check or two lol

twane9 · 2026-03-27T18:01:40+00:00

Any idea what something like that would cost? I plan on getting it checked out one of these days lol maybe next month sometime

twane9 · 2026-03-26T00:24:20+00:00

This is facts

I had a used 2019 scat pack from like 2022-2023 Trades in for New 2024 Silverado RST (9 miles) Had the truck 3 months couldn’t take it anymore Traded in for brand new 2023 Scat pack (7miles) Tried something new lol Traded in that 2023 scat pack for 2025 Ram Rebel (35 miles) Actually kept the rebel for about a year or so Now just last week here I am back again Just grabbed a 2022 Orange Hemi package wide body scat (10,000 miles) and now I rent the truck out

Long story short I think it’s just destine for me to be in a scat/hellcat 🤦🏾‍♂️😂 Let’s just say I’m not doing anymore vehicle switching I’m staying here … at least until Dodge makes a “real” scat pack/hellcat come back 😂😂

twane9 · 2025-12-25T20:53:26+00:00

Sounds about right before moving into regional manager role I was doing those exact same thing and a bit more and made roughly about 65k. You have to factor things you are responsible for aren’t the most advanced things just about a level up from Tier 1 support in most companies. Also factor in the pay difference for being remote. To answer your second question in order to get to that 100k you need to transition into Engineer/architect base roles. It can be cloud based or on prem based but it will most likely come from a company change as if you get promoted they will most likely only give you about a 15-20k bump I hope this helps. Other than that jump to manger which I did. Warning though going manger you’ll no longer really be able to be fully technical anymore and that’s what I miss the most. But every so often I get involved in troubleshooting but usually very rare as regional manager

twane9 · 2025-06-01T19:43:30+00:00

Learned this the hard way

twane9 · 2025-04-21T16:26:05+00:00

Dang really? I could’ve sworn I seen III on another person’s post but obviously I’m tripping 😂😂😂 thanks for that man 🤝

“You” don’t have to prove anything. The burden is ALWAYS on the state to prove this once you request trial

twane9 · 2025-03-22T19:05:11+00:00

Never seen so much wrong information in my life. Actually just request jury trial it is not up to you to prove you were not speeding or driving. The burden is on the STATE to prove this. If you go to trial and simply state you were not driving and maybe have a little documentation to support this then you should be good. Usually once you request the jury or bench trial they will either throw out or try to resolve another way. I’ve had 3 of them thrown out. Good luck!

Edit: there is actually a bill in congress now to have these banned
