I am 29, my only marketable skill is programming and I am
incredibly scared of my future. I just don‘t see myself as manager. I live in Europe and we don‘t make enough money here as devs to retire early.
What‘s your advice?
- gremloni 5y agoAt 33 as a director I felt the same way. Trust me, it’s not all that hard. Work on your people skills and if you don’t have those learn routines or templates on how to deal with the tens of situations you will encounter. Keep abreast of new technologies and feel free to say what you’re thinking in meetings even if you think it comes off as stupid or pedantic. Hire well and treat your directs with the utmost of respect. Immediately address insubordination. It’s a natural progression in many cases, don’t fight it.
