I realized that while I can do people management/TL etc successfully, at this moment (I'm going 40) I don't want to do it. So I'm going as an individual contributor to the new for me area where, ideally and if I'll succeed, I can work till the end of my career (database engine internals). On personal front - spend more time with my daugther (she's 2 in February) and go outside camping/overlanding much more. Also lose weight.
