GH2 speaks the truth. Spoiler alert: we aren’t truly “technical” - it’s a farce. Also if you want a “project/product management” type role, versus coding, and want to be known as “technical,” consulting wouldn’t be the logical route I’d take if career progression is your ultimate goal. If cash money milli is your goal, and you love continually creating/editing powerpoints or taking meeting minutes more, then I’d say consulting makes sense...because you’ll be doing that 10x more than actual technical project or product management. Interesting logic path though.

You’re looking to move away from hands-on dev to more of a strategic or project/product manager role? Or do you want to continue coding? Either is fine, just curious and want to help steer you towards the right opportunity.

I’m a CFP® and work as a test engineer for financial planning software. I’m pretty new to the tech space, and wondering what jobs might be out there in the fintech space as I gain more software knowledge.

My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?
