I made the mistake of entering management WAY too early in my career.

I wish I had not. it relegated my time to many tasks other than tech implementation.

FN having to train CFOs on financially managing cloud environs, managing people, pestering people for status reports, c-level presentations on this that and the other thing, etc...

My biggest mistake in my career was thinking I was "climbing the ladder" when accepting a position as a manager, director etc...



I'm not sure there's a better way to climb the ladder though.


The point being it's the wrong ladder. I'll stick to the enjoying life more ladder


i did it too early.


Were you not climbing ? Was your pay not rising?


gulp
