The worst part about moving to Manager is “manager brain”. Slowly losing the hands on knowledge. I went back to IC and it was uphill battle to relearn certain things. I will probably will pass on manager roles going forward.
@@atylerpearce exactly. You always want to get your hands dirty, but meetings and projects and blah blah. Just no more time to do what you initially got into the biz for.
Have you considered starting up on your own? I know from experience that’s not possible or desirable for everybody depending where you are in life. If you did it alongside a job you can keep some hands on, but eats further into your spare time which was the first issue raised.
That’s definitely burnout territory. I hope you can find an area that sparks interest again soon. Having a good mentor or leader is so important. Sometimes a change in career is where it’s at. That’s where I’m headed!
Thanks so much Sir... Just joined ur channel today...as a junior I am and currently studying Security+ that after failing N10-008 twice so stressed so far, and I'm busy applying for an Entry level IT Support bcs I get a strong knowledge in IT but not luck so far. Any advice will be appreciated it.. From South Africa by the way.
Hey, man. Thanks for watching and commenting. I started 15 years ago. I graduated college with an unrelated major. I just started applying to entry level helpdesk jobs. And learned on my personal experience. I've been building computers since I was 14 and showed them that I was excited to learn. It kinda blew up from there. It might be low pay at first, but IT jobs pay pretty well a few years in. Good luck!
Isolated and Alone man I feel that one for reals!! Great video and very true! I believe salaried employees get screwed over for reals!
Same! I worked government for years and was by myself. Thanks for watching!
I work in IT, this video is for me.
Thanks for watching!

It’s a constant struggle for me. That and wanting to help when as a manager your skill sets are needed elsewhere.

I want that turret…
It wants you too
8 hours a day in front of a PC is cancer and fruitless. I work in IT, I hate it.
And then you bring it home or get asked by your family to help. 😂
@@atylerpearce oh Lord they all expect you to press the "fix" button without any info from them.
How long have you been in IT? What is your current role now?
@@atylerpearce 14 years , desktop support analyst. Between two companies.

@@Fred2Fm You might also be able to setup some kind of lab at your home. And start learning about Active Directory and basic Windows management.
