Hey all! My first post isn't quite a rant, but rather a question.
I see a few posts that are about project managers. Now, I'm still doing IT at uni, but I was quite intrigued by PM when I found out one of my family friends is an engineering PM. The idea of PM appealed to me as I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do mostly after uni (not ruling out development, ofc!).
My question is whether or not it would be beneficial to have a PM with an IT background, and if so, to what extent do the benefits outweigh the lack thereof?
Sorry for the wordy post.

    A pm that could code would be a godsend as they might actually understand what's going on...

    I was a coder a PM and a Senior Technical Officer. Yes a PM that understands developers is valuable. If you are serious about becoming a PM consider going for your PMP certification. It opens doors. Good luck and let me know if you need more info.
