Just some feedback I haven't seen yet. Most very large enterprises have 2 tracks: IC and management. Typically most employees start out at IC and through defined and mutually agreed to career development plans train for the management track. This may take a few years. When the time comes for you to be a manager you have been operating in a management role for some time. This is the Peter Principle. I'd be extremely wary of a surprise promotion in to management where a discussion about that possibility hasn't happened. I've seen this before and it can lead to disaster. You may be setting yourself up for failure or even worse someone is setting you up for failure.
