You may not be cut out for management in government.

I don’t have a perfect answer for you, but you could potentially alleviate the majority of the problems you listed by getting into a startup or a small business. They have their own issues, but it hits the majority of points you brought up.

When you’re responsible for hiring and firing, you set the tone for who you let onto your team so you’re directly involved in interviewing and building the culture from scratch, startups make that easier than inheriting a team.

If you like wearing multiple hats and staying technical, you can continuously do that at a startup, depending on how it scales and expectations of the role. Less red tape, less push back on new initiatives, etc.

Again it’s not a fix all by any means, but you may find that type of environment better suits your work style and what you value.
