Reasons for watching: Casually applying for jobs I’m mostly unqualified for but hey. Im a dreamer.

[@user-vs9wu9om6b]

actually i have my interview on 2 hour... 😂😂 so it might work

[@Larimuss]

How do you get experience as an IT manager without ever being an IT manager 😂😭

[@Stuntman_Steph]

@@Larimuss do it for free if it’ll build your skill set

[@Slayo2024Beshkash]

Same here 😁 Applying for school in countries I can't afford and picking courses my brain can't carry

[@hotdogmushman]

And now i can proudly say that yes, I am actually the IT Manager and not just the inhouse do it all IT guy.

[@mikepillman2266]

As an IT manager of many years you words were spot on. I would say that as a Manager you will need to answer the help-desk phone and fix a printer from time to time. You are never above your staff, just part of the team getting the job done.

[@EntretenidosNY]

Answer the helpdesk phone? WTF bro, for that things you have staff, IT Manager must stop doing micro management

[@jasonmacdonell1203]

You described my career in detail. Thanks for this video. People don't understand what I do for a living at all and this is exactly it.

[@eugenehatch7841]

This is a great overview of what I wanted to know about what an (technical) IT manager is responsible for in the company. Thank you.

[@7atab]

Thank you for the comprehensive covered aspects.

[@TechWithEmilio]

No worries!

[@MrHandsome313]

I am wondering about to be become a it manager soon. I have a business degree plus a few certifications. I’m still working on my Six Sigma, ITIL, and ITMLP certifications too. I am currently working for Amazon as a process assistant for managing a team, help other staff, and monitor been for 2 years. It is time for me to get more advance for the opportunities in the Information Technology field open the door.

[@Criminalwar]

It was fantastic for your time and affords to discuss about IT manager role

[@WetinDeHapen]

I am an IT Manager and I think I have been doing more than what I am supposed to do, involved in L1/L2 support. I want to create structure for my department this year so that I can focus on my primary responsibilities.

[@TechWithEmilio]

Good plan Akin, let me know how you go! I've had to do this a few times...you'll learn a lot!

[@kidu5537]

@Akin Akinrinade Hello Akin, because you are an IT manager, i just want to ask, are bachelor's and masters degree in IT recommended if you want to become an IT manager? Or do you need experience only? Thanks in advance

[@iheartmoneybags619]

@@kidu5537 i think you just need an associate and some certificate im not sure but im going through the navy

[@kidu5537]

@@iheartmoneybags619 oh okay, thank you 😀

[@Larimuss]

Yeah you have to make sure you have time to improve infrastructure, security software etc. I realised that ITs role is not just to support but to improve many aspects.

[@vilikarac6776]

You nailed it! Well done

[@TechWithEmilio]

Thanks

[@phatsimoraphutshi9540]

You summed it up well 💯💯💯

[@kentrowin3637]

Very good Great insight

[@stevenbarkley5067]

There is a Hackathon next week. A Director of IT for city of Hollywood,FL is a judge. Just doing homework at this point. But valuable info.

[@ruckus181]

Thank you for the video Emilio! Very insightful. I myself have been asked to step into the IT managerial role, albiet on an interim basis because the current IT manager is leaving. Leadership is giving me the chance to see what I can do, and see if I even like being a people manager. If not, I can just say I'm not built for this and go back to my current role. I come from a sys admin role, and everything you mentioned are things I have to adapt to very quickly. What do you think I should focus on to make this transition as smooth as possible?

[@mitchsdiaries4330]

Thanks a lot for this video it's been helpful

[@TechWithEmilio]

Glad it helped

[@nadinefayed807]

What would an IT manager be able to contribute for both teachers and the set up and maintenance of a virtual school ?

[@spatemediaNYC]

Hey thanks this was a great video. I'm looking to be a IT manager in the future and this was very informative. 😁😁

[@TechWithEmilio]

Glad it was helpful!

Great presentation!

[@TechWithEmilio]

Thank you kindly!

[@flashysyed9466]

Wonderful, great work

[@TechWithEmilio]

Many thanks!

[@johnkelly2421]

Emilio - absolutely love your work. As an IT Manager who made my career out of a hobby when 8 bit computers were first introduced in Australia back in the early 80s, store and forward email networks (Fidonet Sysop way back then, came up from that thru retail and tech work, then got a minor support role with a company from which i designed their infrastructure footprint and changed their way of thinking IT and getting only a few years off retiring for me now, your an absolute inspiration to those coming up. Your amazing mate... Cheers from Queensland

[@Larimuss]

How did you go from support to IT management? Any recommendations or roles I should look or to move up to management from support role?

[@MegaWhiteBeaner]

@@Larimuss They went from corporate IT support to very small business "IT Manager". This is defintiely the answer since they didn't answer you.

[@renex6247]

Yes, exactly. this is the easiest way as this is also my current situation I worked as a IT technical support lead in one of the fortune 500 companies for +10years and I applied to a medium scale company as a IT manager and I was able to got the position

[@adrianvillarreal8414]

Great info. Can you explain the difference between an IT Manager and Cyber Security partner? Thank you. Keep up the good work.

[@karthickrajs3162]

An IT manager is responsible for maintaining IT infra and ensure the network is secure and other operations are streamlined to support the business, whereas a cyber security role involves web security and internet threat management.

[@harshithar9250]

Can you please help us understand how to prepare the KRA format for IT manager role?

[@Muath-Mahmoud]

Im a senior in highschool and wanted to check different jobs related to computer engineering, I have learnt python and can program and code

[@kossayaliahmad2605]

I am a student and I'll finish school in couple of months and I want to know what are the courses that I should search in university programs to apply for

[@hubiaoai]

Good if I am not an IT manager this also helped me

[@TechWithEmilio]

Thanks for the comment, glad it helped

[@bigbang3138]

Hey but what they do.. Do they make computer parts like hardware, software.. Or what.. I want to know it clearly.. Google also show that they are responsible for day to day operations.. But what are there operations??

[@karthickrajs3162]

No, they dont make computers for sure, they are responsible for maintaining the hardware and software. IT managers are responsible for the IT infra thats supports the business and ensure all business users can be highly productive by facilitating continuous availability of IT systems.
