> I do miss leading a team though; not managing but really leading.

Your title doesn't impact your role on the team. You can easily make a big impact as a leader, without the people management aspect.

What I mean by that is putting together a team and creating a product, not just stepping up on a team to take on a more senior role. You are right, you can step up on any team, and that's how I got to do what I did in this instance: stepping up in a small way until someone recognized that I could lead the team officially. I do look forward to one day starting a venture of my own.
