production is tough if you didnt go to film, design or art school. you need to understand how a large array of projects are made, the players involved, their tasks, the duration of each task and how to manage the process. you also need a large network of specialists to call/bring in to subcontract. few agencies have their own. extremely hard without a creative background.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade.

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?
