because I have no interest in doing coding interviews and because I think there are "ceilings" for engineering positions which is less the case for leadership roles outside engineering. engineering people also tend to get into pissing contests of who is smarter, and the crab bucket mentality is real. I've experienced this about 2 years ago when i considered engineering roles and went through some interview cycles. also, i have experience that is way broader and more valuable than my engineering skills, and in an engineering role, i will not be able to leverage those skills and be compensated for them.
