It depends on you. Each role has its pros and cons .As an IC we are expected to innovate,deliver and support in tight deadlines, someone who is not a people management person, would prefer being an IC. On the other hand, people management comes with more ownership and responsibilities - coaching/mentoring, appraisal, development plan along with deliverables. If you like this role, go for it. Don't try to get WLB into role selection, either of them are equally demanding for someone as experienced as you
