Has it not occurred to you that the job of manager has changed in this time? The people managers I am friends with bemoan spending half of their lives doing paperwork for performance reviews. It wasn’t always that way. To be a project manager is spend half your life in JIRA workflows.
I don’t want to become a manager not just because I’m not good at it, but also because it doesn’t look even slightly enjoyable. Why would I do it?

- ragall 3mo ago> Has it not occurred to you that the job of manager has changed in this time? Maybe, but that still doesn't answer the question. In my many years working for a FAANG in Europe, almost all good managers were non-US, even in the sister teams on the US side. On the US side, the best managers I've worked with were, with a few exceptions, first generation immigrants from India, Iran, Lebanon or various European countries.
