It’s really not that hard. If you do well enough as an IC, are respectful, reliable and make sure to help others instead of bashing them you’ll be offered a manager role. Then all you need to do is put in the effort to learn your new responsibilities, read books and blogs and seek out feedback and you’ll get promoted over the course of a few years. Make sure you are at a growing company so that manager and director roles open up regularly and you’ll be fine. You most definitely don’t need an MBA or other degree/courses in advance.
