Good post. Thanks for chiming in.
so the main options from a employment perspective are:
1) Change tracks and slide into management - mid management to be specific.
2) Consult/Freelance
3) Progress the technical ladder - Principal/Staff/Fellow engineer.
Some questions:
a) Could you elaborate on the pros and cons of 1 and 3.
b) what about progressing into Sr/Exec mgmt as opposed to mid management - do they mostly want mba types and hence not an option for developer types or is there a progression from mid to exec mgmt but its the same as your #5 - get really lucky (besides having the right skills) ?
(Also couldn't agree with you more - why is mid management so glamorous all of a sudden ?!?)
