From tech to teams. | |

I've been thinking about what comes next in my career. Looking at | |
different projects and technical challenges, what other people are | |
doing, I haven't found "the thing" I want to do next. | |
So I stopped and did a quick retrospective about recent projects and | |
what got me excited. Turns out these were the ones related to | |
training others, mentoring and building teams. | |
Now I'm wondering, should I pivot towards a management role? | |
If you asked me five years ago, I'd definitely say no. I wanted to | |
solve the next technical challenge. But it's clear to me I've | |
changed. | |
Have you gone through this transition? From individual contributor to | |
management? How was it? What was your biggest challenge? What's | |
something you wish you knew when starting the process? |
