I can relate. I code at home on my side projects, and enjoy solving coding issues at work once in a while, but I couldn’t sit and do it every day. The two easiest things you can do is either move to Engineering Management or to Product Management.

Be sure that people management or a PM role is something you’re actually interested in as opposed to just being a plan B. If someone asks why you’re switching, “because I grew bored with coding” is a terrible answer. Each of them also has its own downsides. The grass isn’t necessarily greener on the other side.
