In November I somehow convinced a company to hire me as director of IT. Now I have 7 IT techs and 3 software devs under me. I had never been in a management position before (not even fast food or something like that) but it was like a $30k/yr raise so i took it.

I started off wondering how they hadn't figured out that I had literally 0 idea what I was doing. But I've started to realize that nobody in middle management has any idea what they are doing haha.

So, go and lie to interviewers. Worse case you get fired and you can lie to another set of them. Nobody cares and even fewer people actually understand what's going on.
