Most people don't want to do technical jobs? That's not my experience at all. We've had vacant management positions for months because nobody wants to do that role. We'd get no volunteers internally and only a handful of suitable candidates would apply from outside.

If you ask people who come here, probably most of them would choose a technical over a managerial position, but I talk about the general population, of course. Being someone who coordinates the work of other people is much more amenable to human nature than banging your head against a many times unintelligible mass of code.

But you can always check on linkedin the many hundreds of people who apply to any managerial position.

You must be in a bubble. Majority of people hate reading a document. Staring at a screen and googling would be misery for them.

It is really the minority who can do tech for the long haul.

trick is to hire women into technical positions and fast track them into management. My company uses this strategy and almost 90% of low/mid management and admin are women.
