    My management experience was at smaller companies, so I simultaneously ran a team and acted as a technical escalation point. It was actually a step down in technical skills to take an Infrastructure job at a big company - I suddenly wasn’t expected to know everything about everything and also only had to worry about myself.

    If your positions have been pure personnel management you might not be able to move into tech as easily. In that case you might want to look into project management or compliance.

      I’ve been on both sides and to this day am still a technical escalation point for some products even as a director. I’ll take a look at both that you suggested though. I kind of have a love/hate with project managers so not sure I could look myself in the mirror for that one. :)

      I appreciate you sharing thoughts and ideas.
