I currently work as a Data Analyst and have the option to move up to either a Data Manager (DM) or a Data Engineer (DE) role. Both roles are individual contributor positions, and I wouldn't be managing any people in either role.

Assuming all other things equal, would it be harder for me to now take the DM role and then try to go to a DE role, or would it be harder to take the DE role now and move to a DM role later? Worried mostly about the skills I'd build and how recruiters would see it.

Go with DE role of you want to stay technical. Go with DM if you want to move into leadership sooner. Also if you take the DE you can easily switched to a DM role later on. But the DM role might stunt your technical growth.

Yep. Comes down to wanting leadership or remaining an IC in my opinion
