Do you feel happier when you ended up Head of Tech? If so, why do you reckon?
and, What is your MBTI type if you don't mind me asking?

Interesting question! I love development and will always be first and foremost a developer, no matter the role. I love being involved in lots of projects and being a key player in business decisions. I guess at this point I acknowledge that the higher up you go, the less coding you do.

I'd say overall, not as happy in the day-to-day role, due to more meetings, less coding and more management in general. I can offset this by coding more at home however and the salary is much higher, improving my overall quality of life.

When you combine all these factors I'd say in life I'm happier.
