Are there so many bad managers because we force people to move up for more money? Doing a task and managing others are separate skill sets

The reason is when people are staff/senior for 5 years, they aren't thinking "will I be a good manager or not" as their reason for staying or leaving. They are focused on surviving the hours and low (per hour) pay, without burning out. Some people last 6 months, some last a year, some make it to senior then jump for a nice bump. The rest make it as managers, and a lot of those are good or bad.

Not much you can do but attempt to work with the good ones through staffing/networking/group etc.

I moved to Philly from Chicago burbs for my current job in 2017. Love working for this company.

Since we’ve been working from home, I’ve stayed with family for couple of months. Now I don’t feel like living away from them. Just confused between family and career. Any advice?

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. 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?
