Comment Re:You will have to know tech either way (Score 5, Insightful) 592

My company hires management based on management experience, not experience in the field I work in.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to agree with this - especially in the higher levels of management. Sometimes it is the organization's lack of understanding of IT and need to relate to the IT manager that leads to someone with limited tech experience being hired. Other times a once tech savvy manager ends up getting further and further removed from operations - instead being forced to spend their time politicking and worrying about bottom lines.

Ultimately you should make your decision based off of what makes you happiest - as others have said. Get an understanding of what your role in management will actually entail and determine the distance you'll be from operations.

Being 39 doesn't make you 'too old for tech'... being lazy, unwilling to change, inexperienced and out of touch does. On the other side - some people are built for management and some aren't. Unfortunately a lot of people who aren't still end up in management positions.

Yea, but only if you dont care about distances. The only thing I have liked so far about the Draft-N devices is the throughput you get at greater distances. Sitting directly in front of the router my throughput was still only about 32Mbps on average (65 max in small, infrequent bursts) but was getting 2Mbps throughput at a distance where I couldnt even see my 802.11a router.
