The right questions I think! Merry Xmas to you too.

Yes I enjoy writing code for the most part. Was one of my more enjoyable classes in university and is satisfying to see little hack projects start to come to life. I dislike most debugging build / package dependency issues, but I imagine that gets better once graduating past my amateur stage.

I think my personality is better suited for development. I enjoy the problem solving of my current job and the broader cross-discipline considerations, but interaction actually drains me, and that's such a big part of the PM role.

I can switch jobs to find a better work life balance company. Yes I know plenty of devs that have great balance and been in company cultures that generally protect theirs much more than the PMs'.
