Anyone who has transitioned from programming job to a managerial role, how did you do it? Do you recommend going back to school for an MBA? Would love to hear suggestions.
- mmcconnell1618 12y agoI ran my own company for 12 years which probably helped. Took a contracting role at a Fortune 500. Took extra time to come up with suggestions to managers on how to improve the overall development team. Left when the contract was over. 3 months later a management position opened up and the development manager asked me to interview for it. One of the best ways to get a new position is to start performing the work of that position before you have it. If you're already doing to the work you can remove the risk in figuring out if you'll be capable in the new position.
