First reply

I believe that the IT manager is an important position that is required by today's companies. Note that companies rely on technology and for this reason, the demand for an IT manager is high. IT managers play a significant role in overseeing new systems design, organizing wide systems, managing crisis, planning IT budget, implementing IT policy, among roles (Rutgers, 1). To perform these roles, IT managers need a degree in IT, Computer science, and management. It is also important to note that according to The Bureau of Labor Statistic, the growth of information systems will increase by 15% in 2022 (Rutgers, 1). The growth will be as a result of an increase in commercial enterprises. Thus, the demand for IT managers will be high to handle technical issues and help organizations remain competitive in the fast-moving environment.

In the IT field, a site reliability engineer is a special field that is required by today's companies. Site reliability engineers play a significant role in running a reliable service (Sloss, 1). It is important to understand that SRE is a job title from the disciple of Release engineering. This discipline entails creating and delivering software. Thus, SRE must have deep knowledge of development, test integration, and customer support (Sloss, 1). They also need soft skills, software engineering experience, automation experience, and above all, they should have a bachelor’s degree in computer science.
