I had been coding for about 18 years before I realized almost all of my learnings had come form side projects and work for me was a way to get dissappointed (unless I sacrificed money for interesting work). While I could learn technical things on the side, I realized I could not learn "leadership" on the side so switched to management (a very important "component" of leadership). For me it was the best decision. Still slapping myself for not having done this 10 years earlier as soon I felt like I wasnt really learning much technically as an engineer that I couldnt on my own. DM me. If I can do it, anybody can (I definitely still have a long way to go though but happy to share learnings and surprises).
