I have worked in IT industry for over 6 years. I have a very broad background in almost all aspects of IT. I recently completed my degree in Business Administration and I am currently working on my MBA(while working full-time as a developer).
I am interested in management career. I feel that I have the skills, knowledge, and education to work as project manager or a mid-level manager. However, I found it very hard to get even an interview when you don’t have any management experience on your resume.
My question is: Could those of you who worked your way up to management, share how you got there? How long did it take you? What would you do differently if you had to start it all over?
