Finding myself in a similar situation, I don't have a whole lot of suggestions or advice. But I can say that you aren't alone. Thank you for bringing this up. It's helpful to know that I'm not only one that is in this kind of situation. Genuinely interested in hearing others suggestions. Especially, curious to hear from folks about breaking into the management side. Seems that there isn't a real middle ground they either want you exclusively as a developer, or to have had several years of management experience.
