 From tech to teams.

 I've been thinking about what comes next in my career. Looking at
 different projects and technical challenges, what other people are
 doing, I haven't found "the thing" I want to do next.

 So I stopped and did a quick retrospective about recent projects a
 what got me excited. Turns out these were the ones related to
 training others, mentoring and building teams.

 Now I'm wondering, should I pivot towards a management role?

 If you asked me five years ago, I'd definitely say no. I wanted to
 solve the next technical challenge. But it's clear to me I've
 changed.

 Have you gone through this transition? From individual contributor
 management? How was it? What was your biggest challenge? What's
 something you wish you knew when starting the process?
