Need advice: I am very early in my career. I am currently the project manager of our ERP implementation. My boss, the CEO, has offered me a position as a NetSuite administrator with the company paying for my certifications. My first response was that I am not really interested in IT and would rather do something more business related. He has since offered me a position as an associate project manager. I know this decision will effect the trajectory of my career. Did I make the right choice?

In my experience, being an administrator allows you to be very involved in business ops under the IT umbrella. It’s kinda nice bc you can prioritize against IT objectives vs juggling things yourself with every business unit. Obviously, it’s completely up to you and your career preferences, but maybe request more info re: what it looks like in their IT organization. IT has functional areas, it not all ones and zeroes.

It’s great to know that the CEO acknowledged you with that offer. However, you already know what you want. Keep your focus and don’t get swayed by the potential of more money or fast tracked career… What’s worse is, you switch and realize you don’t really like it and usually this is the point when it’s too hard to quit bc of the money. Follow what you’re passionate about and as they say, success will follow.
