>be sysadmin>Do project management stuff too>Like both>Make $100k/yrShould I go balls deep in tech and try to learn AWS/DevOps stuff and try to get a high paying tech jobOr go the business side and pursue project management, which builds more applicable business skills and can open me up to higher paying management/leadership roles down the road
>>58455611>100k to push buttonsThe laptop class is living in la la land. Someone like you shouldn’t make more than a sewage cleaner.
>>58455611Both are gay corporate shit
>>58455614Yeah I don't give a fuck homie. I just wanna make bank and invest. I'll lick some boots and kiss some ass between the hours of 9-5 if it keeps the money coming
>>58455611I just hate the AWS ecosystem personally so I say fuck that. Train on shit like Ansible, Grafana, etc. that companies who aren't exclusively big tech but use it to support tangible products and services use to host in-house infra and then get a job with one of those. You're also less likely to get let go on a whim than you are when FAGMAN's and FAGMAN-likes' venture capital coughs for a fucking microsecond after they hired too many roasties during an expansion
>>58455613oh i see, that's why you didn't know how to copy-paste a pdf lmaoyou are by far the worst clown on this board
Bump, fuck these haters Anon. I work in a comfy mostly remote cyber job rn and make 175k/yr + VA benefits.I'm at a crossroads rn too since I'm debating going onto project management but I like the free time I get as well. I want to say AWS/DevOps would be better for job security but shit's been kind of up and down across the board. If it has anything to do with incident response or even DevSecOps that's probably your best bet. But once again I'm observing for ideas as well.
>>58455611the strain of 4chan autism produces a naivete about business, so they think project management is a do-nothing job. the people repeating this line can't really see beyond their small scope of duties, and how business is essentially a very complex system of interconnected parts. if you want a more chill existence, keep doing what you're doing. if you want to learn more about the business domain, do PM. perhaps you can work your way up to program/portfolio management and or CTO for a company. it might be the move since i've heard IT being ageist, which makes sense.
>>58455615I'm in the same boat, although it's getting easier every day. although it's depressing to know that your success depends on how much you inflate your boss's ego, at least this will keep my maga bag growing, that's something
>>58455611I'm 8 years into my IT career and currently in Product Management of analytics/data products. It's a good gig, and a good blend of technical skillset and PM/management stuff. The technical skills will always be in demand and while the same is true for PM skillset, there are more candidates as it is a generic skillset.
>>58456470That's exactly my thoughts. Eventually I will not be able to compete with 25 year old Adderall addicts who have no problem sitting in front of a computer 24/7 to learn the newest tool.
