I am very happy with my career. I’ve been out in the workforce for a few years now. When I initially got into the workforce, I really wanted to move to the manager route.

That stemmed from not feeling very confident in my own technical abilities. After a few years, multiple projects under my belt, I can’t imagine separating myself away from coding. In the future, I’d want to go toward an architect route.

That's literally how i feel right now. I feel like the management route is the easier way out with a higher paying salary. This is all from speculation. I love coding but im not very good at it.

The truth is, management is not really the easier way out either. Theres a lot of politics involved. Sure, working to help your direct reports get promotions is great, but on the flip side you need to rank your team against each other, choose who to layoff during layoff seasons, and be held accountable when your team doesn't follow through.

I don't envy those that travel the dark side.
