This is pretty easy: go work for a start-up. They'll need someone who has a bit of management experience combined with ability to code and contribute individually. If the startup grows and succeeds you can just keep yourself in more individual contributor positions or even a CTO position where you have a VPE or Director of Eng to do the management.
Unless your real concern here is that you want a nice FAANG salary while also enjoying your work, in which case you should figure out what is really important to you in life.
