My only advice is to not simply jump into a management role because it is the only career path you see. You can still be technical and progress your career! I definitely encourage you to try and experiment different roles, though, as this brings you versatility and understanding the lifecycle of a project.
- quantumhobbit 10y agoHow does one get one of these non-management yet senior jobs? Companies like to talk about a "technical track" but I have yet to see anyone climb up it. I've seen senior engineers hired from outside into fellow type roles. But those seem to degenerate into management roles anyway. Maybe I'm just not working for the right companies, but it really does look like the only way up is management.
- lawnchair_larry 10y agoProject management isn't really a management role. They are usually peers, often on a lower payscale than engineers.
- gtramont 10y agoTotally agree! I guess this is the point I tried to make. :)
