CAN YOU DIG IT SUCKA

You will probably. At least on latest technology. I feel you there - big reason why I said I'd take on a lead role but don't have interest in running a full-fledged department.

I think it would start small, at the team level. The expectation is leading a small team at the moment.

That said, it's not really a bad thing. Being in managements gets you hella paid, and potentially more importantly, makes you more employable as you get older and all that. I'm 34 and I want another 10 years or so of tech experience. I really enjoy solving problems and building stuff. I still suffer horribly from imposter syndrome though and the work can be exhausting.

Dude I don't think you realize how skilled you are, don't sell yourself short. You are unquestionably better than I am at current technology. I'm likely better than you on the modeling + simulation end only because I've done it for years and it's probably not an item of interest for you, but you destroy me on DevOps.

You belong, dude. You do. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I'd like to slide into management in my 40s so that I can work from 45-60 without dealing with all the ageism that absolutely exists in the tech space. Because I started my career so late, I will absolutely not be retiring early and will have to overcome that stuff on the other side of all this.

Yeah I'm older than you by approximately 5 years, so that's kind of what spawned this. I am intending on retiring early; I'd like to work for 15 or so more years and that's it. The details are very personal, but my monthly expenses are going to exponentially increase at or around that time for a variety of reasons so I need a lot of savings to make that possible.

My other alternative is winning the lottery, buying my own race track and zipping around all day in a Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition or 992 GT3 RS/Cayman GT4 RS. EDIT: f*** that, let's get 'em both, and add in a shit load of other cars, why not?

So yeah, just depends on what feels the best. Moving to management and ditching the more technical positions is 0% a downgrade. It's quite the opposite. And, if you end up hating it, most places will be more impressed by you having the experience and coming back to the technical side, vs. those that will question the "backwards" move.

This is exactly my hope.

Is the salary bump nice enough to justify the bullshit that will come with being a manager? I know at the director and c-level management at my company, the money ain't worth the nonsense.

Well, in my case the managerial role would come with more money but due to the way my contract is structured it would actually be quite a bit different than just that. I already feel like I'm seriously overpaid for my talent level. I feel like I'm persistently in the right place at the right time, and that I'm not really special in any way or exceptionally good at anything. But I know the type of people I'm interested in working with, I know the kind of group I'd like to lead, and I know that I'm too old to not look into this.

I'm so shocked that the team that lost to the f***ing Giants is jobbing to one of the best teams in the league.

[TheGreenTBer]

If the Bills are rolling there's very little you can do to keep up. When they're not self-destructing they're basically unbeatable.

 

[John Price]

Just gonna stay at the bar even though it's a blowout and I'm tired
