I have been in IT Management for close to 15 years and I really don't like it anymore. Has anyone out there in Lemmy-land ever moved into a technical role after this many years?

Do you just want to bitch? Love that too!

I disagree I am a manger that has done the job and found myself falling into the management and I am crap. As have other technical turned managers I know. They are too seperate disciplines. Let the managers manage and the tech tech.

That said I am talking about tasking, resource and people management. The actual technical planning and strategy, is another discipline again and often where the people managers fail
