I'm an engineering manager, started from the bottom now I'm here. Really, went junior dev / qa - dev - senior - staff then software architect then technical manager. Management is as hard as coding, but in a different way. Just because someone is not smashing their mechanical keyboards 8 hours per day doesn't mean they're lazy.

Thanks for your perspective. My career has followed a similar trajectory to yours, albeit in a completely different industry.

I’m getting tired of the short sighted version of antiwork which says only the worker drones have merit.
