I moved back to an IC/Architect position at a BigTech co and I now have the opportunity to code again if I so choose but I honestly can't stand to work through the boundless configuration and plumbing hell it is. If I decide to take on a personal project in my free time, I feel 100-1000x more productive than I would ever feel in the corporate setting. I would say I fell out of love with enterprise code years ago and I would almost certainly have remained a manager if that was my only option as an IC.
