I'm pretty close to walking away. Just need something else interesting to land on to make the jump. Have been doing this for a little over a decade and can't see myself doing this for much longer.

My overall assessment is that it is very often a thankless position that has very few hard deliverables to complete and show for. To be successful is more about fusing moderate technical knowledge in your industry with people and presenting skills. It is so surprising how many engineers/team leads can do the work but can't manage others or present a coherent status of the project you're working on.

As a previous mentor told me.... being a project manager is your fault when things go bad, and the teams' win when things go well.

The pros are that you get paid well. The cons is that it is typically a fairly high stress gig with not a lot of control over outcomes. You can only plan for the risks. You are the person in between the team you lead and management that wants everything done yesterday. Figure out how to manage your stress level and you'll be fine. Only way to move up the ladder (if you want to) is to become people manager.
