Ask HN: Management or Technical

2 pointsDirtyPowder3 comments

I am interested in becoming a CIO and would like to know, do you think it is better to focus on management training or getting a technical foundation first.

Depends on your background. What's your job at the moment?

Right now I am an information assurance consultant. Job focus is on the policy and management side.

I would take a semi technical path, maybe as a BI consultant. You work with people, take leadership roles but also work with new technology.
