My current position is UI Engineer/Dev Lead. I really enjoy coding, but after almost 15 years coding, tbh I don't think I can do it all the time. I'd like to move a little bit away from the programming part (still build things as a hobby) and focus on leading/managing.

I did the management route for a few years after being in technical positions for many years, I found I'd much rather deal with technical issues than managing people issues. Just something to think about, depending if you like people drama or not.

At least we have that "backup": the technical path will be there, and I love it... But I'd like to try something different and, after having some bad managers in the past, try to "do better". Maybe I'm too idealistic.
