Your comment on #1 above doesn't make sense to me. Immediately after the sentence you cite, the OP says "Build skills that are more valuable to your company, and take positions that can’t be filled by entry-level workers" Management roles may be one option. You are correct that technical competence doesn't imply management competence but that can still be learned (over the course of one's career). I do understand the rest of your points though. ETA: You say ... can anyone cite me a single source that justifies this position? Exactly what kind of citation would you need? You can probably look at successful companies and see how they handle the problem. |

It is the implication that newly learned management skills are "more valuable" than high-level technical skills that I question. I'm not saying a good manager isn't valuable; on the contrary, I think good management is essential. I'm just saying it's a different, parallel track to technical work, but a lot of people (particularly not very good managers) seem to see it as a technical track that stops at about the level where the management track starts.
