I know people who did that, they struggled

I’ve seen people with 15 YOE industry experience as senior, 25 YOE as manager but they were more used to doing work themselves than managing teams. I’m sure their technical knowledge was great but they faced difficulty transitioning to client service since it’s much faster and less familiarity involved
