After my first contact with a computer in the 1980's, I taught myself to program in BASIC and Z80 assembler. I went on to study Computer Science and have enjoyed a long career in Software Engineering.

1) Team leading is fine and more about supporting your team mates but Project management is more about balancing the books (costs and time) and appeasing senior management.
2) The nature of the project meant the role was a complete switch from technical to managerial, which was not for me.
3) After 3 years it took me another 4 years to get back into a technical role. It made me realise how much a love being and engineer.
The age-old lesson: be careful what you ask for.
The biggest mistake I made in my career as a Software Engineer was to venture into project management.
thanks a lot for sharing! can I ask why?
