Engineer to manager isn't "growth", it's a complete career shift. Fine if you want it, torture if you don't.
"Dear Engineer, you are so good at your job we've decided to have you stop doing it and do a different job with an almost completely disjoint skill set. You get to do something that you will most likely hate and be bad at. Plus you can never go back to your old life."
