Every manager I've ever had sees me as an extremely competent multidisciplinary engineer. So obviously ever one of them thinks I'd be perfect for management. Every time I've tried a management role, it's been a flaming disaster. At my last job I argued for six months on this point with my manager. I eventually relented and... disaster. I don't know how to more clearly articulate "I cannot and will not manage others. I am not capable and it will end badly." But apparently that's not clear and understandable enough for management brain. New job now and I think the boss is intelligent enough to understand "no, that is not possible"
