I'm a counterpoint to this.

Outstanding IC wanting to get into management for job security / ageism. Turned out to be a bad manager too focused on team and unable to effectively manage up and sideways.

I'm now a consultant. Ageism is suddenly on my side in consulting. Coding until I die.



Im just curious here. Did your team love you or hate you? Were they happy with your focus on them besides your managing upwards and sideways inefficiencies?


The former but I'm not sure how much they knew about how I failed on the rest
