What type of process did you go through for this transition? I recently stepped into a director level position and have been loving the management and vision-crafting process, but have been curious that if I ever choose to step back toward an IC role, what that looks like in terms of interviewing/retraining/etc.

I sold myself back into an IC position by focusing on my domain knowledge and architecture skills which was still part of my director role. I think the higher pay is an exceptional case where they are paying more for my domain knowledge than my programming skills.
