Is there a career path in STEM where you can move out of the lab but not into people management? I enjoy the science, but I’m not sure leading a team or managing people is what I want next. Any suggestions?

Gotta have some kind of responsibility for your job to get paid, whether it's technical or management or sales/applications

Ok, thanks

I find the same problem, currently at an office level, next step is senior officer which is still technical but beyond that it's mainly management and meetings which isn't my vibe, I'm just going to stick technical for as long as I enjoy it

If you are in life sciences, specifically pharmaceuticals, Manufacturing Science and Technology (MSAT or MS&T) jobs are mostly desk jobs with occasional support on the manufacturing floor or wandering into the process development lab.
