Maybe, and perhaps you'd want to emphasize your team lead experience, outcomes, processes, etc. The basic takeaway is that 10+ years of experience is valued for management roles, and it's not for IC roles. Most IC job descriptions / ads will want 3 years, 5 years (maybe 7 years max...) of experience with <insert hot new thing> here, and they want people who are minimally qualified for those roles. Extra experience isn't necessarily regarded as a good thing, and can count against you in terms of perceived compensation expectations, or being "damaged goods" that didn't get promoted / on a good career track at their last place.
