In my company the potential to make more as manager is much greater than 25%. And you have the chance to move further up which is extremely rare for ICs.

Agreed, but my point above was that if you are not happy as a manager, you're probably going to be really unhappy as a senior manager, approaching severe depression/anxiety as a director, and ready to jump off a bridge as a VP. If you're just going on that track for the pay potential, your happiness level is going to be worse the higher you go up and the more divorced you are from tasks (like programming) that you enjoy.
