After 15 years in the technical side as a developer, I jumped into a management position.
It won't be the first time for me to lead a team, but it will be the first time I have direct reports in a "non-technical" position. Looking forward to the challenge and the new tasks.

Good luck! Did a similar move this year, but I still miss most of the code part. Think that is why I started doing a lot more projects on the side to keep me busy and connected.
I do the same. Giving up development was always the downside but over the course of the past 5 years it happened organically and lead me to where I am.

Thanks! I'm both excited and nervous. Any tips after you went through a similar process?

Did the same recently, with about the same amount of experience behind me! What a coincidence.
Good luck with the new challenge!
Thanks! Congratulations and good luck to you too :)
