Why do you want to be a manager? (This is a genuine question, not a challenge or an argument.)
- zerr 5y agoA friend at FANG who moved from IC to management describes it as a relaxed and easy cushy job compared to being an engineer and doing real work.
- yawz 5y agoHah! I would argue that your friend is either extremely fortunate to be naturally gifted to work with people, or (the way more likely option) they don't have enough knowledge and experience to know that they're not being a good manager. Being a good manager is generally not an easier position. It's a different way of solving mostly different problems. That's why it requires a different set of skills.
