I've had a similar experience, however I found it tied to the size of the company. If you're a director at a large corporation, you will be very siloed and you most likely won't be doing much coding. If you're a directory at a small company, you're going to be coding, managing coders, and being part of leadership and strategic discussions.
- _fat_santa 2y agoCan confirm. I currently work for an SMB (~150 employees) as a manager. Our VP doesn't write any code but the directors and managers are still IC's on projects. Right now I really like being an IC in addition to being manager cause I still have that coding itch to scratch, but I just know one day I will eventually graduate to role where I don't write any code. Long term it is the direction I want to go in but it's going to be bittersweet when I finally get to a role with no coding.
