I wanted to become a manager but it seems since I’m pretty good at crushing big technical tickets I keep getting stuck in my role.

Tried applying to other jobs as engineering manager but obv people won’t hire me since my resume is mostly IC and team lead type roles.

I have had over a dozen managers in my career so far. Only two were good while the rest were terrible or indifferent at best.

Now I’m trying to build a KMS and hopefully it can become a company and my way out of this stupid career “progression”.

Ironic that most people I see or talk to have the reverse problems (myself included).
