I’ve only been sending emails to offshore vendors about the things we have to do. I’m not sure if I’m truly managing a team of developers. The offshore vendor will write the specs, do everything from specifications to development to documentations. All I was really doing was reviewing the work and then approve/reject their work. Honestly, I’m not exactly sure I want to be more of a managerial role or developer. I do however fear that I may lose my technical knowledge in my current job since I only have to send emails to offshore vendors. My current job does make me realise the “freedom” I get from a managerial role that I will probably not get from a developer role though. I did consider transiting to a managerial role when I’m closer to my 40s or 50s if a managerial role is really so much less demanding than a developer role. But again, I’m not sure if my current job is a true reflection of what a managerial role is because it just feels insanely easy and comfortable. |

A person I went to grade school with is a project manager with a tech company, and I forgot more about tech and the interwebz than she ever knew. She can't do maths and she can't code (not my strenghts either) but shit, I'd be stunned if she even knows what PR is or even ever heard of Brin or Page.... I'm guessing she has has other formidable skill sets but, ya know!
