Take ownership of things. Push those things forward, work on them as if no one will review and they need to be great, etc. 90% of success in biglaw is caring, trying hard and taking ownership. Anyone can do this.

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?
