Have folks had success at offering to be a junior dev to learn a skill? (Eg I’d love to learn how to set up these complex ML systems and play with data… but I don’t have much formal experience)

Beyond that, I feel this anxiety about leaving management so hard. I’ve been managing for 3-4 years now and I worry my skills are too atrophied.

I miss being able to create and solve problems in the back of my mind.

But then it feels hard giving up the ability to influence direction and take care of people.

But my heart is happiest when I’m mentoring someone or talking how to deal with a tough problem. I barely get to do that anymore :(
