It depends. My best managers have been engineers. You generally don't need a full time engineering manager for a small 4 person team. If you do, your org is probably dysfunctional. I will say though, if you're going to do both, do a good job, meaning one you'd expect of your reports. Don't be a manager that hands off his half-working project "to take it over the line." Finish your work. |

Right. The other comment said that people don't move into management because they are a great engineer. That doesn't mean managers haven't been engineers.
