Even though I'm still climbing the roller coaster at 31, I still felt the urge to move into engineering management because: (A) it appears the salaries aren't capped the same way as being an IC and (B) a bit more future-proof than staying the IC route. Does that feel like an inevitability for folks? And even then, I still feel like outside of the Big 4, salaries can get capped pretty quickly - a 10% raise every 2 years leaves you with little room to grow after 35 at most companies.
