Is it better for a project manager than codoon?

Programmers who have just graduated from college often expect to become project managers mainly because they feel that the income of project managers is far better than that of codoon.

So many people will summarize how to become a project manager. It seems that the click rate is also good.

 

 

This is probably true. I believe it will not change for a long time in the future, which is equivalent to the "official standard" in the programmer group ".

In essence, this is restricted by the software layer. It is very subtle.

 

 

However, there is a trap that people who wish to become project managers should know in advance.

 

 

Once you become a project manager, your job role will change dramatically compared to a programmer.

Programmers are faced with code, development environments, and bugs, while project managers are mainly faced with a lot of trivial things.

In terms of the image, the boss should explain the project as soon as he is not satisfied with it, so as to avoid major problems;

If there is a shortage of manpower, we need to coordinate quickly. First, we need to be able to reach people, and the key is to have the right people;

If the tool is missing, purchase it quickly;

When the boys are in a mood, hurry to appease them;

PPQA has complained and must be corrected immediately.

 

 

What does this mean? This means that your technical capabilities will be ruined.

Some principles (single responsibility principle, etc.) will undoubtedly not be forgotten, but some things combined with specific projects will be ruined.

For example, after you become a project manager, it is difficult for you to solve 12306 category of speed problems.

 

It is said that Microsoft and other companies hold high praise for the ability to quickly handle the code they should handle, as well as developers who want to become management roles.

But in fact, this is very difficult. The simplest thing is that programmers need to concentrate on their work, and the project manager's work is interrupted from one day to the evening.

 

 

Becoming a Project Manager further means that your liquidity will decrease.

For a person with a technology stream, he can also solve his problem by changing a place. The more valuable the technology is, the more valuable the technology is.

However, the project manager is tightly integrated with the company. It is not just a technology.

The upper-right and lower-right have a huge impact on the project manager's efficiency. Once these things flow, they will return to zero, and people will have no advantage.

So it may be difficult for a project manager over 35 years old to flow. If the company goes down at this time, the Project Manager may be ugly.

 

In terms of image, a person is not a project manager, but the knowledge of software and hardware can be exploited to develop mobile phones at any time;

One is a project manager with a technical foundation, but cannot work on the front line of development. The management technology is skillful.

If both are 38 years old, the former is basically more mobile.

 

 

The last constraint is personality. Some people are really not suitable for project managers. If they do not have any political skills, they will usually lead to interpersonal tension,

The sky is so angry that we can go back and put pressure on ourselves.

 

The above points are often hidden. Below the aura of the project manager, I would like to write it here to remind people who want to become project managers in advance.
