Great insight! I find myself in a similar growth trajectory as an engineer (but not software), and have been considering moving in to management. That move feels like the necessary path if I want to grow my salary and continue to drive change, but I’ve been lamenting the potential loss of the focus on the technical side. Considering a back and forth approach (manager back to engineer and repeat) is an interesting take I had not actually considered.
