One tip: when you are writing code, the reward scale of time is small; you can very quickly see its effect and it's a very concrete thing. When you are doing "leadership" like teaching, mentoring or general "managing", the scale of time for the reward is much longer and less specific, so for most people who started this type of work it may not seem as rewarding. But, at the right scale of time (several months) you'll likely see your impact (somebody you helped being promoted or clearly being at a higher level for example) and it will be very rewarding.
