Thanks for replying! Yes, that's a way. I nearly managed to pull it off a few years ago, but ended up being more relevant on the non-dev stuff, and that led me to the wrong track (as in, not the one I wanted, but the one paying me more). I got better and better as a PM and now it's hard to convince anyone that they should let me go to a less strategic role. In the sense that developers are often executing the roadmap, not defining it (at least where I am), and paying me for (slow) execution only is kind of a waste of my domain knowledged and experience. But you're right, trying internally may be the best/safest way.
