Software engineer mostly in the area of science and research. I spent 10 years developing software and solutions in the field of seismology and now I am working in the field of quantum computing.
Last company I worked there for 9 years. First as a developer, then staff scientist, then managing the Software and IT departments. Loved that job, but it was time to take on something new so I started a new job in quantum computing in June.

I found it refreshing. The transition was a bit abrupt and a big changes. It did mean I get to work on code a lot more now, which was nice and a. little intimidating.
I definitely prefer coding to days full of meetings, working groups and calls.

wow. and how did you find the transition from managing to being "in the fields" again - on something new?

I think too working actively on solutions is more interesting than meetings and political management stuff.
I always find interesting hearing stories of people "downscaling" from people management back to coding. Thanx for taking the time to comment.
