I actually had several roles with scaling levels of responsibility. Technical speaking my role as Director of Engineering was very much an engineering management role, hiring, firing, performance reviews ... you know the fun stuff.
Before that I had a role as Practice lead, which was def more technical and less management, but still a good introduction in terms of mentoring and training.
Softskills become essential as you dig more into management, knowing how to resolve conflicts, give feedback, etc.
Honestly, my background and the career path planning I had a the company I used to work wasn't the best it was more of sink or swim kinda mentality.
