I don’t consider a line level manager a promotion. I consider that the fifth level of hell.

- raw_anon_1111 10mo agoMy biggest issue with line level managers is that they don’t control budgets or have any real authority - raises, promotions, etc. I love managing initiatives - just not people. But anytime I have been bought into a company where I was responsible for major company wide strategy, I made sure I reported directly to someone with authority - a director or a CTO. It was mostly small companies. Even now where as a staff level employee where I do report to a line level manager (who is at the same salary band as I am) who I like and respect very much, I am making sure I have visibility and the ear of my skip manager and my CTO about things I care about - without stepping on my managers toes.
