In my personal experience, most get promoted to management of people and their skills in project management atrophy over time. Some break that pattern and instead move to consulting. Most companies I’ve worked with and for do not have a career path for a competent, highly skilled PM who wants to remain just that and further hone his/her skills. The choices are up (to people management) or out (to consulting).
