I kind of agree with the ambivalence about being a manager, but why the focus on being technical? Why not move into e.g. product management?

- B0btheBuilder 8y agoI think it has to do with the idea that technical skills are more transferable than product management and that there are more job openings for technical roles than management roles.
- Latteland 8y agoYes, that's exactly right - technical skills are more valuable in the market and transfer across companies. The things I've learned as an architect for a big team and a manager are also transferrable but there aren't as many people who can do that and still do technical implementation and design.
