Hi guys,

Need some serious advice. I started working in IT a year ago, and really love my current IT specialist job. I am being given an opportunity to transition into IT management.

However, I am worried it will affect my career prospect. My current job is cozy and the technical skills required is very low. Everyone around me, including my previous manager have asked me to consider it, and I do feel pressured.

If you guys can share some stories about your experience, it would help me a lot. I'm especially worried because I am also a young female tech. I am a very big people person and I do my current job very well, so everyone thinks I can be in management, but I keep feeling that there's more than just being a people person, how can I be managing if I don't know much after the basic IT infrastructure or the likes? Please advise, thank you! Ask me any questions regarding this, I might be feeling a little imposter syndrome as well, and I'm also trying to figure out if it's worth it to take this opportunity and continue to be in management, or stay as a tech because I'm more passionate in that.
