Submission + - How do I Become an IT/IS Manager? (voidmain.net) 6
link915 writes: "For the last 7 years I have moved around from job to job moving up the rungs of the IT ladder. I've worked in tech support, network operations, sys admin, and programmer. Two years ago I took a job with a company that had a small IT department. We are now changing and hiring on more people; doubling our department. With the new hires comes an IT Manager.
Now, I could stay and wait things out; hopefully taking over the IT Managers position someday or I could look for a new job as a Manager elsewhere. I'm am just unsure of what route to take. What are others experiences with moving up the ranks in IT? Is it best to move onto another company to further your career or stay with one company and try to move up there? Heck, do I even want to be a manager?"
