It Depends !

Ok, to be more specific:

Do you prefer wrangling bits and bytes or people?

Do you like your current company? Is there an appealing career track for you?

Do you like being challenged technically? Or would you just prefer to earn a comfortable salary?

My observation is that once you get settled into the management track it is hard to go back to development. Even if you do side projects, that doesn't really put you back on the tech track.

I like to work that is challenged technically, salary is second preference for me. I like my company as i come in very starting members of company, so its tough for me to leave this company. i am doing management but somewhere i still want to write code and live that life.
