Interesting and awesome take. Personally I find that I am 50/50 strategy and technical lead. I’m not directly executing anymore - which I miss - but I’ve had the truly awesome opportunity to grow and shape scientists far far far smarter than myself into great technical assets.

It’s a fun combo of problem solving and story telling. But mostly money.
