Pros: If you like implementation type of work ,SM roles can be great
Not highly paid but lot of managers are transitioning to such roles

Cons:you get a sense of executing monotonous work,the Agile fatigue
As the squad matures SM ‘s need to gain product or technical knowledge to add value
More competition and at times the role is being treated like an entry point to tech
