> mostly managerial with a small component of hands-on technical work I've been manager and an IC (currently IC) The biggest concern I'd have for you in the manager role is that you're inheriting a team. I was lucky enough to have built a team from scratch once (by recruiting from within the company, and a few new hires) as well as inheriting a team once. You never know what you're going to get by inheriting a team, they could be resistant to change. There could be one person who causes more harm than good but is very difficult to fire for some reason or another. They could also all be awesome. I would say, if you've not already done so to ask for the ability to meet with the team you'd be managing.
