I’d make that decision based on your career goals. The manager role will be best for growth, and the lead software role would be better for technical skill progression.

Which one are you leaning towards and why? Both sound very exciting. But it ultimately depends on what you're looking for in your career.

I would choose the role that gives clearer influence. Manager paths can drain your energy.
