Of there is one thing I have learned about being a manager is this. You are never ready lol. You learn from getting it wrong because no 2 people are looking to be treated the same way or managed the same way. Your job is to figure out how to make it work for everyone. It can be super frustrating and demoralizing when you get it wrong, but it feels SO GREAT when you nail it
I love the side of PMP where Jeremy essentially said how do we properly communicate to a problem or outage to a board of suits that arent technical. I have struggled with that in my career the last 2 years I've been doing this. GREAT VID! CANT WAIT!
I got my Project+ certification back in May (which thankfully is a lifetime certification) and I got really interested in Project Management and thinking on going deeper next year, at the moment I am actually working on getting my ICND2 before February and also working on the Security+ that should be done before December. Thanks for the video Chuck!
Please tell me if or how has Project+ helped you in the field? Ilil be finishing my degree in Project managment and am now trying to figure out what cert to go after first. Im also finishing up a cybersecurity bootcamp this week (so security+ will also be on the list for me) but has Project+helped?
I am an executive IT PM, which means over 25 years of successful completion of large scale complex C level reporting and bottom line value add. If you like money you have potential to earn $300k USD at the top of the ladder. Only one key tip you should love it enough to work for nothing. If you dont you will never get to you of ladder.
Can confirm that in 2023, this is still a demand and the salary is still great. Especially with lots of companies moving to SaaS environments (Cloud hosting/apps).
Project management is hard and very rewarding financially if you have the guts for it. This vid made me feel like I was watching a late-night infomercial for a turbo vegetable cutter/juicer/fitness machine.
The most important part I took from this.... you have to do it to learn. Gotta take the jump. I took the jump from web dev to PM in tech and I've learned so much the last year and I keep growing. 3Xed profits on my first year for the company hoping for a bump next year.
@Jeremy - Please more content on TH-cam! You are an excellent instructor. Hope to learn and grow in the Project Management world. As a 55 yr old dude, I know and feel what you are talking about! Old IT Guyz Unite!!! JD
Just became a new customer/ student at can't nuggets and I'm SATISFIED and then some. I have tried many different providers like cbt nuggets but, the love and compassion for it and your students had put you guys far far above the rest. Your contents and attention to your students are truly awesome. Everyone else who reads this comment, if you haven't already, ........ WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!!
As an IT PM, the network engineers I work with are earning more than me. It is not a glorious lifestyle. If others let you down, you are the face to the customer.... That can be painful I'd say PM is for you if you are a jack of all trades, but master of none. I know enough of everything I ask others to do that I feel I could do it if I needed to, and I had a week to do a 1 day task... You need to know when to question an engineer's decision, even if you don't know the answer yourself... because I've found people can get too focused on 1 way to go something when there may better way. And I'm not talking guys with CCENT or CCNA, I'm talking Engineers with CCNP level experience (and 2 have CCIE) and working in a multi vendor environment. They all do better than our senior PMs
@@da_baracus4280 It is likely he does. I was a network engineer prior to becoming a Project Manager. This put me over most of the engineers with the exception of the Network Architect. Your PMP can definitely get your a raise, but it is good to have a M.S. or MBA to go along with it. Project Managers with no certifications or degrees typically get paid a lot less.
I have all the certs, that's not a problem (PRINCE2, MSP, master's of Project Management). With the environment I'm in, no I don't think I deserve more than the engineer. Anyone with their head screwed on that can talk to people can be a PM... What my engineers do and the complexity to me means they deserve more money than me.
It is a task. I am an IT operations manager and PM. I don't have PMP but greenbelt. It can be tough as my job offers noooo paths for success or betterment. This is a good video. I will take a look
Did you have a career in IT before CCNA? How are you going with finding jobs? I am doing AWS Associate before I go deeper into CCNA as it's a little easier and apparently more relevant to the current environment.
I started my IT career as an entry level tech for a satellite comms company in the oilfield. I worked my way up with those guys into a network analyst roll. Got my CCNA in 2013, took a roll as a infrastructure supervisor in the gaming industry, finally i was recruited to a network and business solutions architect roll for a large ISP in the pacific. I re-certed my CCNA this year and saw that most of my time now is spent doing project management. I am now working on my AWS solution architect.
I saw the video earlier where you guys mentioned that Jeremy is planning to start using social media more than he used to and was looking forward to his channel. I discovered it very recently and subscribed immediately. Thanks for this video too. You should do more such videos. I personally like them.
Curious as to why you talk about the PMP as if it's an entry level cert for PM, especially since you point out the hours requirements for it. PMP is the cert you go for after a few years working in PM. To that point, what would you recommend for those who don't have the hours or years of experience necessary to sit for the PMP exam? The CAPM? Project+? Even for those like me with enough hours and experience, getting the fundamentals of PM down is incredibly important.
Southern New Hampshire University has a degree program in Information Technology concentrating on project mgmt. I'm already enrolled and will start classes when I get home from my current deployment! Can't wait!
In addition to PM certifications, it's also worth considering some Requirements Engineering certifications, like CPRE. Definitely something I look forward to adding to my track of records :)
I loved this video. Chuck, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos, that energy you have is great. I have been thinking for some time now about moving into PM. Sadly, as you mentioned too, i do not have the skills it takes... yet, or so i wish to learn them soon. Thank you for this video.
Great episode… although he’s way too sporadic! I acquired all of my PM experience running 2 of my consulting companies and working with so many bad PMs in the industry, which gave me insight on what not to do! It’s definitely an acquired skill… To the former sales/marketing professionals that think Technology Project Mgmt. might be their gateway into the tech world, think deeply about it before making the leap.
This is great! I think about this gap all the time. I want to build my technical skills as I work in the field while keeping in mind that I would like to run things at a higher level later.
Chuck. Loveddddd the interview with Jeremy. I'm not a IT guy but I totally agree with what Jeremy said about all those terrible PMP classes that don't really teach you how to be a better project manager. I gave up on those and created my own Case Story PMP training methodology while I studied. All story based. Really cool. You follow a project manager through a life-like case story and learn PMP in the process. I'd love to share it with you and your audience. I am sure they would really love it! I just want to help. Let's chat. Scott Payne.
How about someone who is a certified PM in construction projects and now wants to become PM on IT projects. What that person would need to do in terms of certification.
Learn about computer networking (CCNA, CCNP), operating systems (Windows, Linux), physical/virtual hardware (CompTIA+, Hypervisors, cloud computing) and programming/scripting languages (Java, Python, Bash). If you have Agile and Scrum certifications; I'd recommend ITIL, possibly Project+ too.
$97k isn’t “a ton of money”, the going rate for CCNA level network engineers in my city is $102k, CCNPs $126k, and CCNPs with DevOps experience $150k. The non-technical PM guy I report to as an engineer makes way less than I do (I know for certain because I work in government and our salaries are public)
@@ChipsChallenge95 Where? Generally, every thing that I've seen pairs a CCNA with perhaps a CISSP or some type of engineering degree. Your CCNA will generally get your some where between 55k and 75k.
Thank you guys so much for sharing your knowledge to all of us. I am a manager of a Travel Company, and have 20 years experience both in Sales and Customer Service. How can I become an IT Project Manager without having any experience in IT? What would be the best certification path in my case? Thanks again for all you do!
2 years no reply .... I'm an IT project manager - former painter and poker player .... I started out in web development making the career change and then switch to PM in tech. So I would say you want to learn some tech first. You don't have to be able to code (even though I do sometimes to help out the devs) but you have to understand technology. I could barely type back when I was painting houses. I did get my masters in information systems so I'm sure that helped but honestly you learn most of it on the job. So just get familiar with tech (I know that's so broad) but maybe a little coding and get familiar with the industry first.
Very interesting! I have a bunch of PMP and ITIL courses wishlisted on Udemy, because I have prior PM experience, but just was not sure what is a better route... I’ve heard both mentioned a lot! 💪🙌🤙❤️🍺🍕
But jermy, when you are a technical person in a specific area like networking, what kind of job you will get after passing PMP exam with zero experience in management? Although I am interested to do PMP but I don't know what I will do with that certificate?
Personally I went the other way. Spend 3.5 years as a telecoms engineer when I left Sixth Form at 18. I now manage business wholesale optical due to my field experience; just brings a technical view point into the team. I am now looking at completing my CompTIA Project+ and then the PMP and Prince2 providing all goes to plan :)
I just got my pmp! But I dunno how to use it or enter the industry. Need a lil help or direction. Who will hire a new bie? Where does a newbie start from ?
100k$ a year for IT PM? Cool. Where do I get my US remote job, being 12 years into Project Management in Poland? 2 years in SCRUM in IT now. Funnily enough got friends who made it to such jobs in US and just rest on laurels for 3 digit salaries. It's like moving from Mordor to Rivendell on both sides (crazy salary and easy job).
I have 0 IT experience. I've garnished 4 years worth of project management experience in college. What specifically in I.T. would you all recommend I learn to be competent in the role
8:55 "project management isn't for everybody" that's so true, some get into thinking they have the necessary technical skills, end up crying at their desk when things don't go smoothly or blames start to pile up. i seen technical person try to run a meeting, and had so much difficulty doing a simple minute to record the meeting down.
I have been an IT pm for 18 years and have managed large programs as well as small projects yet cannot find work. Have been unemployed for 12 months now
hey guys and thanks for touching into the PM subject. you heavily mentioned about PMP, is it because its the best or its what you are familiar with? where i am, PMP is the most known but into my knowledge Prince2 is better for IT world. just a though and looking forward for your input
What if I’m looking into getting a CAPM cert and also CompTIA A+? Does that make your options in PM greater? Also I don’t really wanna go the masters route right now but I wouldn’t rule it out.
I am trying to get into IT Project Management. I have over 20 years experience in IT and zero certifications. I have run my own company and have had 100s of customers however I am selling that out and looking for next steps to succeed. I feel like I could manage any project but the PMP Certification will help me "prove"my worth? or should I just keep trying without it.
Hey Chuck! Nice vid! I have a question, I live in Brazil and I'm starting thinking about PMP, but I don't know if there are a official way to get into the test and all that stuff to get this certification here, if anyone can help me it will save me for real! Tks guys!
Can someone who had an accounting/audit/compliance background get in to it project management? Do you have any resources I can use to help me get into the field? By the way, I'm currently learning to code.
I like the intention of this video, but to be honest the real value, besides lots chit-chat, is in one minute, I thought this video could really be helpful, alas it's not, disappointed 😞
I had the opportunity to sit for the beta version of the Project+ exam from CompTIA, it was interesting, but definitely not for me at this stage in my career, however it did help me know what actual Project Managers were doing right, and were doing wrong.
Love the fact you guys are looking at the PMP, maybe you can answer a question for me. I hold a PMP certificate, i'm actually VP of my local PMP chapter, and am currently a Project Manager for wireless network provider build and commission cell towers. I am really interested in transitioning to an IT management position but have no direct IT experience and my degree is in design. Most of my experience is managing projects in Telecom, Pro-AV, VTC, and construction/drafting mixed-in. I'd really not like to not start a degree all over again, is there any IT training programs ya'll could recommend that would/could take place of a full-fledged IT based degree? I am having a difficult time breaking into the IT world for employment. I really appreciate it and if I can return the favor if you have any PMP questions I'd be happy to help! Thanks!
Hey. So, I've completed my Engineering in Computer Technology but have just a year long experience of Technical support/Customer support. After this I've an year gap and now I'm in a different country and studying my Diploma in Project Management ( but the college isn't good at all and I'm trying to educate myself and get skills with the help of some courses on Udemy). Also, can't afford courses like PMP or Prince, etc. And I am desperately trying to improve myself and reach to that designation. But i donno where to start off from / the path or to start off with. I've no clue. Please help me?
I know I’m really late to the party! But I would love to email Jeremy if possible. I am looking to transition into the IT industry, it has always been a passion of mine. I have a lot of sales/management experience and I’m working on my PMP and then going after my A+ and network +. I am honestly just looking for a mentor who could help guide me. Is there anyway I can contact him:
I recently completed my MBA in IT management, but I'm having trouble figuring out which certifications I need to attain a six figure salary (I have no IT background). What do you think is the best (and most affordable) path to one of these positions?
Of there is one thing I have learned about being a manager is this. You are never ready lol.

If you’re going for a PMP certificate as an IT Project Manager in software development, you’d better start studying Agile and Scrum as well.
Can Agile and Scrum be used in IT projects other than software development and is it common to do so?
himdabo concurrently or immediately afterwards?
The new/updates version of the PMP cert includes agile.
@@ecuasteelo Yes, you can you it for most anything.

Sure being a PM pays well. But the stress may not be worth it. Being on both sides of the coin being an Operational IT Manager (BAU) is more my pace.
Truth. You gotta be able to handle that stress.
Stress, work load, deadlines are the nature of any type of work.
Could you give 3-5 bullet points to why you say this? How long did you stay as a PM?

I know an IT project Manager with our company. I think I should reach out to him and see !!! Very interesting.
Pple like the money that comes with PMP. It's not easy as people sees. Project management skill is a must as 37% of projects succeed.
I still feel technical skill is always harder to acquire than something like a PMP. Just my thoughts
interesting...now looking into the comptia project+. Could be an extremely useful skill and why not see if i like it. Thanks for the vid
$97k isn’t “a ton of money”, the going rate for CCNA level network engineers in my city is $102k, CCNPs $126k, and CCNPs with DevOps experience $150k.

OK, I have to confess I can't listen to Jer at less than 1.5 speed. Anything slower just feels wrong.
Same
hey guys and thanks for touching into the PM subject. you heavily mentioned about PMP, is it because its the best or its what you are familiar with? where i am, PMP is the most known but into my knowledge Prince2 is better for IT world. just a though and looking forward for your input
Did you ever talk about Mikrotik Routerboard? That will very interesting. Thanks.
Not yet...thinking about it.
Get those letters! PMP, PMI-AP, SCM, SAFe POPM, MBA
And no one 'does' what the PMP teaches. It's a certification meant to weed out weak candidates.
How about prince2
There's a couple of positions that I saw for Management. I feel capable but I think I'm self sabotaging.
What if I’m looking into getting a CAPM cert and also CompTIA A+? Does that make your options in PM greater? Also I don’t really wanna go the masters route right now but I wouldn’t rule it out.
I am trying to get into IT Project Management. I have over 20 years experience in IT and zero certifications. I have run my own company and have had 100s of customers however I am selling that out and looking for next steps to succeed. I feel like I could manage any project but the PMP Certification will help me "prove"my worth? or should I just keep trying without it.
Hey Chuck! Nice vid! I have a question, I live in Brazil and I'm starting thinking about PMP, but I don't know if there are a official way to get into the test and all that stuff to get this certification here, if anyone can help me it will save me for real! Tks guys!
But the problem is to get a project management job in IT. Companies want many years of experience and college degrees in Businesses management.
What they are saying I don't understand? I am looking for Project Management and build my career skills. Can they suggestme something better!

What are the prospects of PM's with a PMP without Degrees but experience in IT?
Some companies that are transitioning to Agile are moving PMs to different roles.
What do you mean by this? Do you jave an example maybe?
Can someone who had an accounting/audit/compliance background get in to it project management? Do you have any resources I can use to help me get into the field? By the way, I'm currently learning to code.
The PMP can be applied to any sector of work. There are a variety of PMP's in every different sector of work.
Let's go!
What is the purpose of constantly changing the camera angle & direction?
Make it dynamic, more interesting.
Wow I didn't know he's PMP certified!
I like the intention of this video, but to be honest the real value, besides lots chit-chat, is in one minute, I thought this video could really be helpful, alas it's not, disappointed 😞
WOW you got Mr. CBTNuggets himself
Oh yeah!
I had the opportunity to sit for the beta version of the Project+ exam from CompTIA, it was interesting, but definitely not for me at this stage in my career, however it did help me know what actual Project Managers were doing right, and were doing wrong.
Love the fact you guys are looking at the PMP, maybe you can answer a question for me. I hold a PMP certificate, i'm actually VP of my local PMP chapter, and am currently a Project Manager for wireless network provider build and commission cell towers. I am really interested in transitioning to an IT management position but have no direct IT experience and my degree is in design. Most of my experience is managing projects in Telecom, Pro-AV, VTC, and construction/drafting mixed-in. I'd really not like to not start a degree all over again, is there any IT training programs ya'll could recommend that would/could take place of a full-fledged IT based degree? I am having a difficult time breaking into the IT world for employment. I really appreciate it and if I can return the favor if you have any PMP questions I'd be happy to help! Thanks!
Should an employer force everyone to be a project manager?
Hey. So, I've completed my Engineering in Computer Technology but have just a year long experience of Technical support/Customer support.
After this I've an year gap and now I'm in a different country and studying my Diploma in Project Management ( but the college isn't good at all and I'm trying to educate myself and get skills with the help of some courses on Udemy).
Also, can't afford courses like PMP or Prince, etc.
And I am desperately trying to improve myself and reach to that designation. But i donno where to start off from / the path or to start off with. I've no clue.
Please help me?
hey can any stream graduate apply for project management course like a chemistry graduate and become IT project manager
I know I’m really late to the party! But I would love to email Jeremy if possible. I am looking to transition into the IT industry, it has always been a passion of mine. I have a lot of sales/management experience and I’m working on my PMP and then going after my A+ and network +. I am honestly just looking for a mentor who could help guide me. Is there anyway I can contact him:
I have about 17 months to qualify for my PMP. Ugh!!!!
*Why not ITIL ? It's specialised for IT.*
ITIL was good... 10 years ago
@@WarMatt86 why's that so. I have seen many companies asking for the same.
@@KaranSingh-or7yy from my experience here in Switzerland. Company asked ITIL few years ago, now the big trend is AGILE
@@WarMatt86 oh that's the case. Is agile and scrum related with each other ?
Doing a PM course isn't the problem. Getting the job is big problem. Please be advised Majority of the jobs require minimum 2 year experience.
I recently completed my MBA in IT management, but I'm having trouble figuring out which certifications I need to attain a six figure salary (I have no IT background). What do you think is the best (and most affordable) path to one of these positions?
because IT professionals don't want to deal with the PM side
