The Manager Boom
The number of IT managers employed in the US has jumped 44% since the dot-com collapse of 2001, compared with a 19% decline in the number of programming and support jobs. That translates into 119,000 new IT managers during the same five-year span that programming and support jobs have shrunk by 200,...

| description | The number of IT managers employed in the US has jumped 44% since the dot-com collapse of 2001, compared with a 19% decline in the number of programming and support jobs. That translates into 119,000 new IT managers during the same five-year span that programming and support jobs have shrunk by 200,000. A study this year by the Society for Information Management, led by a team of academics, finds that even IT workers in the trenches must know how to make business decisions. The top three skills sought by IT employers for midlevel hires, not all of whom would be managers, involved managerial proficiencies: planning, budgeting, and scheduling; project leadership; and project risk management. People who want to advance their tech careers must find ways to ride the management boom. To protect their careers, they should know how to manage projects, processes, and maybe people. Because in today's work environment, it is more about what you do than what you are called. |
